Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

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.

Landing Summary

Overall, this aircraft landing displayed a mix of both strengths and areas for improvement. In the Approach Phase, there was room for improvement in maintaining the descent path within the glideslope limit and ensuring better heading alignment. However, it is commendable that the speed was on target, showing good control in that aspect.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is noted that the threshold height was extremely high and the landing flare could have been better executed. Despite these challenges, the touchdown rate was hard, but the speed was on target. The touchdown point being 170 m beyond the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position 28.9 m from the centreline shows room for improvement in precision.

However, it is worth mentioning that the aircraft was landed with an 18 kn crosswind. Landing in crosswinds can be a challenging task, and the fact that this was accomplished successfully is a commendable achievement. Managing crosswinds requires a high level of skill and confidence, and it is clear that this pilot was able to navigate this aspect effectively.

In conclusion, while there are areas for improvement in various phases of the landing, it is important to focus on the positives as well. Maintaining target speeds and successfully navigating crosswind conditions are no small feats. With continued practice and attention to detail, this pilot has the potential to further refine their skills and become even more proficient in future landings. Keep up the good work and continue to strive for excellence in every aspect of your flying. Well done!
