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 1,581 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,581 m of the 2,516 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 553 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

The local weather at the time of departure indicated a temperature of 3°C, with a 2 knot wind coming from 214°, resulting in a slight 2 knot tailwind.
The enroute climb commenced over Kherson International Airport, ascending from 1,169 ft to 40,085 ft, covering a total distance of 279 nm in 41 minutes. The aircraft then entered the level cruise phase 2 miles north of Ozun, Romania, maintaining this phase for 202 minutes and covering a distance of 1,267 nm.
The enroute descent began 5 miles northeast of Cifuentes, Spain, descending from 39,826 ft to 4,481 ft over the course of 19 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nm. The landing was executed on runway 21 at LESA Salamanca Airport, with a runway length of 2,516 m. The aircraft approached at a height of 40 ft agl, with a speed of 128 knots at the threshold. The touchdown occurred 551 m from the threshold at a speed of 121 knots, with a vertical speed indicator indicating -147 ft/min. The local weather at the time of landing showed a temperature of 18°C, with a 3 knot wind coming from 60°, resulting in a 3 knot tailwind.
The total landing distance required was 1,500 m, which accounted for 60% of the total runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area, covering less than 1 nm in 2 minutes. The total flight distance from Kherson International Airport to Salamanca Airport was 1,687 nm, lasting a total of 275 minutes. The flight consumed 10,257 kg of fuel during this journey.
