Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 122 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 200 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply. These checks are the approach's score.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,499 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,499 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 221 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Partenavia P68B taxied from the parking area to runway 21 at Copenhagen Roskilde Airport, a movement that required 6 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 21 the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 224 m, representing 15 % of the runway, and achieved liftoff at 71 kt; ambient temperature was 21 °C with wind 12 kt from 250°, a cross-wind component of 7 kt and a head-wind component of 9 kt.
The aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 21, flying a distance of less than 1 nm in 14 seconds.
Continuing the left-hand pattern, the cross-wind leg covered less than 1 nm in 16 seconds.
On the downwind turn the aircraft described a 1 nm arc with an angle to the runway of 108.0°.
The downwind leg extended for 2 nm and was completed in 51 seconds.
During the base-leg turn the aircraft traversed 1 nm with an angle to the runway of 7.5°.
The final approach to runway 21 was conducted from the north-east, on a heading of 211.0°, at 1 nm distance and 371 ft above ground level.
Landing was made on runway 21, whose length is 1 499 m; the threshold speed was 73 kt, touchdown occurred 220 m down the runway at 57 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 64 fpm. Local weather at landing was temperature 21 °C, wind 13 kt from 250°, cross-wind 8 kt and head-wind 10 kt. The total landing distance measured 362 m, equivalent to 24 % of the runway.
The aircraft rolled out along the runway with perfect alignment.
In total the flight covered 7 nm, took 7 minutes, and consumed 5 kg of fuel.
The aircraft entered the final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north-east on a heading of 231.0° at 0 nm and 408 ft agl. Local weather was 20 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 224°, giving a headwind component of 3 kt and no crosswind.
At threshold the aircraft was configured for a speed of 70 kt and the threshold height was reported as good.
Touchdown occurred 265 m down the runway at a speed of 54 kt; the vertical rate was -67 fpm, described as excellent, and the touchdown alignment was perfect, with the distance judged good.
The total landing distance was 554 m, representing 22 % of the 2 493 m runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
Maintain the current approach and flare technique that produced the excellent vertical rate and precise alignment, while continuing to monitor touchdown speed to keep it within the established 54 kt value for optimal performance.
