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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,708 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 507 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Beechcraft King Air 350A started with a 6-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at EBCI Brussels South Charleroi Airport. The departure roll was from runway 24, with a takeoff distance of 616 meters, covering 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 111 knots, and the local weather at the time indicated a temperature of 10°C, with a 4-knot wind coming from 220° resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The enroute climb began over Jumet, Wallonia, Belgium, with the aircraft climbing from 1,539 feet above sea level to 27,269 feet, an increase of 25,730 feet over 12 minutes and covering 18 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started 2 miles south of Grez-Doiceau, Wallonia, lasting 53 minutes and covering 236 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase commenced 2 miles southwest of Villers-sous-Chalamont, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France, with the aircraft descending from 26,998 feet to 2,384 feet, dropping 24,614 feet in 20 minutes and covering 74 nautical miles. The landing was on runway 17L at LFLL Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, with a runway length of 2,708 meters. The height at threshold was 52 feet above ground level, and the speed at threshold was 103 knots.
The touchdown occurred 507 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 87 knots and a vertical speed indicator showing -79 feet per minute. The local weather at the time indicated a temperature of 15°C, with a 6-knot wind coming from 140°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 701 meters, which was 26% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance for this journey was 337 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 102 minutes. The flight consumed 516 kilograms of fuel during the trip.
Great job on achieving a landing score of 99.5%! Let's break down the analysis to see what contributed to this outstanding result.
