Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,010 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,134 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
First of all, it's important to acknowledge the overall landing score of 87.4%, which shows that there were some areas of improvement but the pilot managed to handle the landing fairly well. Being just shy of a score of 90% is definitely something to be proud of.
In terms of the Approach Phase, it's clear that there were issues with the descent path being above the glideslope limit. This can be a challenging aspect of landing an aircraft, but it's something that can be improved with practice and attention to detail. By focusing on maintaining a proper descent path, future landings can be even smoother.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's noted that the threshold height was well above the target and the landing flare was very poor. These are areas that greatly impact the overall landing quality. With more practice and perhaps some additional training or coaching, the pilot can work on achieving a better height and flare technique to ensure a smoother touchdown.
The Touchdown Phase also had areas for improvement, with a hard touchdown rate and speed slightly above target. Additionally, the touchdown point being 236m beyond the touchdown zone shows a need for more precision in landing. By focusing on refining techniques and properly judging speed and distance, future touchdowns can be more accurate and gentle.
Lastly, the Rollout Phase had issues with runway alignment, being 4.3m off the centreline. Ensuring proper alignment during rollout is crucial for maintaining control of the aircraft after landing. By practicing and honing alignment techniques, the pilot can work towards a more centered and controlled rollout.
Overall, while there were some areas for improvement in each phase of the landing, the pilot should be commended for achieving an 87.4% landing score. With dedication, practice, and perhaps some additional training, there's potential for even greater success in future landings. Keep up the hard work and focus on refining techniques for a smoother and more precise landing experience.
