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 1,752 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,752 m of the 3,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 710 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

The touchdown occurred 711 meters from the threshold at a speed of 120 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -136 feet per minute. The local weather at landing was 26°C with a 2-knot wind at 40°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and 1-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 1,672 meters, 42% of the runway's length.
