Next time
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, rather than letting it stop or relax.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it at 252 fpm, and the touchdown followed long at 1,022 m against a 457 m target. Sink returning late in the flare usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Watch the sink rate in the flare, holding it smooth all the way to touchdown rather than letting 252 fpm return.
Departure
Raise the gear promptly once a positive rate is confirmed, before reaching the gate altitude.
What happened: Gear retraction was late relative to the target height for this stage of the climb.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up, no landing flap set, centreline 16.7° off, against a 1° limit, wings 12° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 58 kt FAST on the reference speed of 99 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 4.2° against the runway's 3° and centreline 7.5° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,580 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,580 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,022 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The ATR 72 taxied from the parking area to runway 09 at EGLC London City Airport in 7 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
The departure roll commenced on runway 09 at EGLC, with a takeoff distance of 755 m, 50 % of the runway. Liftoff was achieved at 116 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 22 °C, wind 2 kt from 355°, a 2 kt crosswind and no headwind.
Climb began overhead EGLC, ascending from 748 ft asl to 18 320 ft asl, an increase of 17 571 ft in 8 minutes while covering 27 nm.
The aircraft entered level cruise one mile west of Allhallows, maintaining altitude for 35 minutes and covering 150 nm.
Descent started 3 miles north east of Ravenoville, descending from 17 911 ft asl to 9 002 ft asl, a decrease of 8 909 ft in 5 minutes over 22 nm.
A second level cruise commenced overhead Pirou, lasting 12 minutes and covering 44 nm.
The next descent began 12 miles south west of EGJJ Jersey Airport, dropping from 8 974 ft asl to 527 ft asl, a decrease of 8 447 ft in 10 minutes while covering 36 nm.
Final approach to runway 09 at EGJB Guernsey Airport was flown from the west on a heading of 94.0°, at 1 nm and 160 ft agl.
Landing on runway 09, which is 1 580 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 74 ft agl, a threshold speed of 96 kt, and a touchdown speed of 93 kt. The touchdown point used more than 50 % of the runway, and the touchdown rate was minus 164 fpm. The touchdown position was offset by 13.8 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 18 °C, wind 5 kt from 40°, with a 4 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
The total landing distance recorded was 1 803 m, 114 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 63.0 m from the centreline.
After landing, the ATR 72 taxied from the runway to the parking area in 16 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 283 nm, lasted 77 minutes, and consumed 695 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 09 at EGJB Guernsey Airport was flown from the west on a heading of 94.0° at 1 nm and 160 ft agl, with ambient temperature 18 °C, wind 5 kt from 040°, a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
At the threshold the aircraft was 74 ft agl, a height described as well above target, and the threshold speed was recorded as good at 96 kt.
Touchdown occurred well beyond the aim point, using more than 50 % of the available runway; the touchdown speed was good at 93 kt and the vertical rate was good at -164 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 13.8 m from the centreline and the total landing distance was 1 803 m, representing 114 % of the runway length.
During rollout the aircraft remained excessively misaligned, deviating 63.0 m from the centreline.
To reduce the landing distance and improve runway alignment, aim to achieve touchdown near the 300 m (1 000 ft) aim point and maintain centreline tracking through the rollout phase. Adjusting the flare timing to achieve an earlier, more centered touchdown will help keep the aircraft within runway limits and improve overall score.
