Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 235 m past the target, landing at 692 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
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: centreline 9.6° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 5.2° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,536 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 692 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 32L at LFBO Toulouse-Blagnac Airport in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 32L, the aircraft used 1,883 m of runway, representing 54 % of the available length, and lifted off at 161 kt. Ambient conditions were 24 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 295°, providing a 3 kt headwind and a 2 kt crosswind component.
Climb commenced overhead Cornebarrieu, with the aircraft ascending from 1,447 ft asl to 32,881 ft asl, a gain of 31,434 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 120 nm.
The first cruise segment began 1 mile south-east of Montpellier and lasted 20 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 158 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 23 nm south-east of Antibes, with the aircraft descending from 32,693 ft asl to 13,009 ft asl, a loss of 19,684 ft in 12 minutes while traversing 79 nm.
A brief cruise followed, beginning 8 nm west of Rogliano, lasting 3 minutes and covering 17 nm at constant altitude.
The second descent began 7 nm south-east of Macinaggio, with the aircraft dropping from 12,789 ft asl to 349 ft asl, a reduction of 12,440 ft over 17 minutes and a distance of 65 nm.
For the final approach to runway 16 at LFKB Bastia-Poretta Airport, the aircraft approached from the north on a heading of 163.0°, intercepting the glide path at 1 nm and 317 ft agl.
Landing on runway 16 was executed with a threshold speed of 139 kt; touchdown occurred 280 m beyond the touchdown zone at 128 kt and a vertical speed of minus 151 fpm. The runway length is 2,536 m, and the aircraft used 1,435 m for the landing roll, representing 57 % of the runway. Weather at the time was 30 °C with a wind of 7 kt from 90°, giving a 2 kt headwind and a 7 kt crosswind component.
Rollout alignment was reported as perfect, and the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 447 nm, required 83 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 3,133 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 16 at LFKB Bastia-Poretta Airport was flown from the north on a heading of 163.0° at 1 NM and 317 ft AGL. Local conditions were a temperature of 30 °C, wind 7 kt from 090°, giving a 7 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
Threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 139 kt, indicating the aircraft was correctly configured for the flare.
Touchdown occurred 280 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 128 kt that was judged good. The vertical rate at touchdown was good at minus 151 fpm and runway-touchdown alignment was very good. The aircraft used a total landing distance of 1 435 m, representing 57 % of the 2 536 m runway.
Rollout alignment was perfect throughout the deceleration phase.
Minor refinements include aiming the touchdown point slightly nearer the ideal 300 m aim point to reduce runway usage, while preserving the current speed and flare technique that produced good results.
