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 2,485 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 545 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Boeing 737-600 began with a short taxi from the parking area to the runway at EGHQ St Mawgan AB, lasting only 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nm. The departure roll on runway 12 involved a takeoff distance of 704 meters, which was 29% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed during takeoff was 140 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 14°C with a wind speed of 6 knots coming from 140°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 5-knot headwind.
The enroute climb phase started as the aircraft flew over EGHQ St Mawgan AB in Cornwall, England. The climb took the plane from 1,421 feet above sea level to 40,424 feet, covering a total distance of 206 nm in 27 minutes. The subsequent level cruise stage began 1 mile west of Glapthorn in Northamptonshire, England, lasting 72 minutes and covering a distance of 1,082 nm.
The descent portion of the flight commenced 4 miles northwest of Rantasalmi in Southern Savonia, Finland. The descent took the aircraft from 40,980 feet above sea level to 2,085 feet, covering 53 nm in 13 minutes. The landing occurred on runway 28 at EFJO Joensuu, with a runway length of 2,485 meters. The aircraft was at a height of 44 feet above ground level at the threshold of the runway and was traveling at a speed of 126 knots. The touchdown occurred 547 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 109 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -181 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 7°C with a 3-knot wind coming from 150°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 2-knot tailwind.
After landing, the taxi from the runway to the parking area took only 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance traveled was 1,348 nm over a duration of 117 minutes, consuming 6,832 kg of fuel. The total landing distance was 968 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway at EFJO Joensuu.
