Keep the approach speed on target
Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,683 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,683 m of the 3,210 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 649 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 95.3% is a very impressive achievement! Your performance during the Approach Phase was particularly commendable, with excellent glideslope alignment showing precision in your descent. However, it is noted that the speed was too high during this phase, which is an area that can be improved upon in future landings.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you displayed good threshold height and a well-executed landing flare, indicating a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown. The Touchdown Phase also showed promise, with a smooth touchdown rate. However, there were areas for improvement noted, such as the speed being above target and the touchdown point being significantly beyond the designated zone. Additionally, the deviation of the runway touchdown position from the centerline is worth addressing in order to further enhance your landing technique.
Despite these minor shortcomings, the Rollout Phase demonstrated very good runway alignment, showcasing your ability to maintain control of the aircraft post-landing. Overall, your performance is highly commendable, and with a few adjustments and further practice, you have the potential to achieve even greater success in your future landings. Keep up the good work and continue striving for excellence in your aviation pursuits!
