Improve the touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach that landed joined below the 500 ft gate, after a go-around. The gate assessed on the earlier approach is not shown - it was not the landing's.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,501 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 58 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at ETSN Neuburg Air Base took approximately 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 27, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 206 knots. The takeoff distance of 531 meters accounted for only 21% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short takeoff roll. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 32°C, with a wind of 15 knots at 320°, resulting in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
Following departure, the aircraft initiated an enroute climb from 2,049 feet above sea level to 21,232 feet, a vertical increase of 19,183 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a series of enroute descents and climbs, with the aircraft reaching a maximum altitude of 21,232 feet. Notably, the aircraft's climb performance was impressive, with a vertical rate of climb of over 6,400 feet per minute. The enroute level cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft's final approach to runway 27 at ETSN Neuburg Air Base was from the east, with a heading of 265.0° and a touchdown speed of 177 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 27, with a touchdown distance of 62 meters and a touchdown rate of -725 feet per minute, indicating a relatively heavy touchdown. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.4 meters. Local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 28°C, with a wind of 10 knots at 320°, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The total flight distance was 132 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 25 minutes and a fuel consumption of 0 kilograms.
The aircraft, GAF30+28, successfully completed a landing on runway 27 at ETSN Neuburg Air Base, demonstrating a good approach quality. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 265.0°, at a distance of 0 nm and an altitude of -78 ft above ground level. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it achieved a touchdown speed of 177 kt, which was slightly below the threshold speed of 180 kt. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 62 m, and the aircraft's touchdown rate was heavy at -725 fpm. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.4 m, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a wind of 10 kt at 320°, contributed to a crosswind of 8 kt and a headwind of 7 kt.
The overall performance of the aircraft during the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 86.3%. While the heavy touchdown rate and slight misalignment from the centreline were notable, the aircraft's ability to maintain a good approach quality and achieve a satisfactory touchdown distance were positive aspects of the landing.
