Flare on profile — 93 %

What held you back

Departure Climb 3 — gear not retracted; Landing gear up at 0 ft agl at 0 %, climb speed 132 kt against 176 kt at 59 %, −3.10 points
Departure Taxi — Taxi Lights at 0 %, −0.67 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 93 %, −0.24 points

Next time

Departure

Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.

What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.

Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 125 kt.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 133 kt against a target of 125 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 125 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.
