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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 305 m gate: gear still up and no landing flap set.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,007 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 629 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Sankt Stephan Airfield, taxiing from the parking area to the runway took 18 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. Departure roll on runway 14 commenced, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 77 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 3°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 12°, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of Lenk, Canton de Berne, Switzerland, reaching an altitude of 2,075 meters above sea level in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles. Subsequent climbs and descents took place over various locations, including Darstetten and Kandersteg, with the aircraft eventually beginning its descent 1 mile north of Afa, Corse, France. The final approach to runway 20 at Alghero-Fertilia Airport was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft touching down 266 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 87 knots.
The landing distance of 1,382 meters was 46% of the runway length, with the runway touchdown alignment being very good. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 438 nautical miles, taking 107 minutes, and the aircraft used 385 kilograms of fuel. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 351°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The aircraft touched down on runway 20 at LIEA Alghero-Fertilia Airport, a 3,007-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the north east. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a heading of 204.0° at 4 nautical miles and 398.2 meters above ground level. However, the threshold height at 20.8 meters above ground level was above the target, indicating a slightly higher-than-desired approach path angle.
The aircraft touched down 266 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 87 knots, which was a little fast. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -0.8 meters per second was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 11°C, a wind speed of 3 knots from 351°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 3-knot tailwind.
The total landing distance was 1,382 meters, accounting for 46% of the runway length. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, earning a score of 87.0%.
