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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 13 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
The Beechcraft Bonanza A36 taxied from the parking area to runway 12 at LOKL Lienz-Nikolsdorf Airfield in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 12, the aircraft used 384 m of runway, representing 57 % of the available length, and lifted off at 76 kt; ambient temperature was 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 141°, no crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead Nikolsdorf, Austria, with the airplane ascending from 2,387 ft asl to 8,955 ft asl, a gain of 6,568 ft achieved in 7 minutes while traversing 15 nm.
Level cruise began 3 miles southeast of Heiligenblut, Austria, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nm.
Descent was initiated from 40 ft agl to 0 ft agl, a reduction of 40 ft recorded as occurring in 0 seconds.
The approach to landing was conducted 4 miles east of Heiligenblut, Austria, positioning the aircraft for final touchdown.
Touchdown occurred at the same point, with a speed of 73 kt, a vertical rate of minus 1,557 fpm, and a ground roll of 13 m; local conditions were 13 °C, wind calm from 329°, with no crosswind or headwind.
In total, the flight covered 19 nm, lasted 11 minutes, and consumed 7 kg of fuel.
The approach began 4 mi east of Heiligenblut, Austria, with a descent from 40 ft AGL to 0 ft AGL recorded as a decrease of 40 ft in 0 seconds. Local weather was 13 °C with wind 0 kt from 329°, no cross-wind and no head-wind.
Touchdown occurred 4 mi east of Heiligenblut at a speed of 73 kt, noted as a little fast, with a very heavy touchdown rate of minus 1,557 fpm. The touchdown point was good at 13 m from the threshold.
The score of 64.8 % reflects the need to moderate approach speed and manage vertical speed to avoid a heavy touchdown; reducing speed to the appropriate VREF and smoothing the flare will improve the rate of descent and overall landing quality.
