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 1,531 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,531 m of the 2,317 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 778 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A320 began with a 7-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway, covering 2 nm. The departure took place on runway 21 at EFRO Rovaniemi, with a takeoff distance of 6,587 ft, equivalent to 67% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 kn, with local weather conditions showing a temperature of 64 °F, wind at 6 kn from 340 °, a crosswind of 5 kn, and a tailwind of 3 kn.
During the enroute climb, the aircraft started climbing 1 mile southwest of Rovaniemi, ascending from 1,578 ft to 34,133 ft over 17 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nm. The level cruise began 3 miles southeast of Boden, lasting 141 minutes and covering 923 nm.
The enroute descent started 5 miles northeast of Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, descending from 35,493 ft to 20,422 ft over 16 minutes and covering 105 nm. Another brief level cruise followed, lasting 4 minutes and covering 24 nm, starting 1 mile southeast of Simister.
The second descent occurred 2 miles northwest of Leek, descending from 20,131 ft to 2,517 ft over 9 minutes and covering 37 nm. Another short level cruise began 1 mile northwest of Curdworth, lasting 11 minutes and covering 4 nm.
The flight concluded with a landing on runway 15 at EGBB Birmingham, with a runway length of 7,602 ft. The aircraft crossed the threshold at 44 ft agl, with a speed of 135 kn. The touchdown occurred 2,553 ft from the threshold, at a speed of 130 kn and a VSI of -133 ft/m. Local weather at the time of landing showed a temperature of 56 °F, wind at 4 kn from 180 °, a crosswind of 2 kn, and a headwind of 3 kn. The total landing distance was 4,745 ft, equivalent to 62% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 1,209 nm, with a flight time of 383 minutes and fuel usage of 17,506 lbs.
