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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,782 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 599 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from UVES Veshchevo Airport, the aircraft began its journey with a taxiing period of 6 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 32, with the aircraft taking off in 590 meters, or 26% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 84 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions of 4°C temperature and a 13-knot wind at 261°.
As the aircraft climbed from 1,159 feet above sea level to 6,642 feet, it covered 14 nautical miles in 9 minutes, demonstrating a steady ascent. The enroute level cruise phase started 1 mile south of Kamennogorsk, lasting 33 minutes and covering 52 nautical miles. The aircraft then began a series of descents and level cruises, navigating through the airspace over Russia and Finland. Notably, the final descent phase from 6,160 feet to 4,196 feet in 5 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles, showcased the aircraft's ability to efficiently manage its altitude.
The final approach to runway 33 at EFKU Kuopio Airport was initiated from the south-east, with the aircraft touching down 142 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 68 knots was slightly fast, but the touchdown rate of -183 feet per minute was satisfactory. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 31.5 meters. The total landing distance of 1,192 meters, or 43% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, concluding the flight that covered a total distance of 154 nautical miles, using 59 kilograms less fuel than anticipated, and lasting 114 minutes.
The final approach to runway 33 at EFKU Kuopio Airport from the south east was initiated at 4 nm and 1,266 ft above ground level, heading 337.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 101 ft above ground level, which was excessively over the target. The threshold speed of 83 kt was also excessively high, indicating a potential for a long rollout.
The aircraft touched down 142 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 68 kt, which was fast. However, the touchdown rate of -183 fpm was good, indicating a controlled descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.6 m from the centreline, which could have contributed to the subsequent rollout issues. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 2 °C and a wind of 9 kt at 260°, resulted in a crosswind of 9 kt and a headwind of 2 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,192 m was 43% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 31.5 m from the centreline, indicating a loss of directional control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 65.1%, with room for improvement in terms of approach speed, touchdown speed, and rollout alignment.
