Reduce your height at the threshold
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,752 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 500 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 ESCK Bråvalla Air Base took approximately 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 06, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 57 knots within 369 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 59°.
As the aircraft cleared the airfield, it initiated its enroute climb, ascending from 200 feet above sea level to 812 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 06, descending from an altitude of 173 feet above ground level to touch down on the runway. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 60 knots, but the touchdown point was 56 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, resulting in a slightly misaligned runway touchdown position.
The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 1,750 meters in length, and the total landing distance was 692 meters, accounting for 40% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, deviating by 11.6 meters from the centerline. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 24 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 23 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 7 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 06 at ESCK Bråvalla Air Base from the south west was initiated at 0 nm and 173 ft above ground level, heading 57.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 60 kt, which met the target. However, the threshold height at 105 ft above ground level was excessively over target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach path.
The aircraft touched down 56 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 45 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -288 fpm was fair, suggesting a moderate deceleration upon touchdown. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.2 m from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the intended path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light headwind of 1 kt, did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 692 m was 40% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.6 m from the centreline, indicating a continued deviation from the centreline after touchdown. Overall, the landing performance scored 80.6%, reflecting a satisfactory but not exceptional performance.
