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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,050 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 777 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 14R at KBFI Boeing Field King County International Airport, a facility located in Seattle, Washington, United States. The takeoff distance was 727 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 199 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was also 2 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KBFI Boeing Field King County International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,285 feet above sea level to 45,068 feet above sea level, an increase of 43,783 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 91 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northeast of 4W6 Blaine Municipal Airport in Blaine, Washington, United States. This phase lasted for 21 minutes and covered a distance of 136 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, which started 18 miles northeast of Cache Creek in British Columbia, Canada. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 44,864 feet above sea level to 35,526 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,338 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began a series of climbs and descents as it continued its journey. The first climb started 15 miles southeast of CBG2 Green Lake Airport in Green Lake, British Columbia, Canada, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 35,412 feet above sea level to 43,295 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,884 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 101 nautical miles. The first descent of this series started 20 miles south of CAH4 Valemount Airport in Valemount, British Columbia, Canada, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 43,125 feet above sea level to 35,967 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,158 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then continued its climb and descent phases, with each phase taking the aircraft to a new altitude and location. The final climb started 10 miles south of RB20 Moose Lake in British Columbia, Canada, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 16,970 feet above sea level to 44,727 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,757 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 153 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 11 miles southwest of CEM5 Swan Hills Airport in Swan Hills, Alberta, Canada, and lasted for 33 minutes, covering a distance of 209 nautical miles. The final climb of the series started 12 miles southeast of CAL4 Fort MacKay/Albian Aerodrome in Albian Village, Alberta, Canada, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 44,972 feet above sea level to 45,884 feet above sea level, an increase of 912 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 3 miles northwest of CFW4 Muskeg Tower Airport in Muskeg Tower, Alberta, Canada. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 45,806 feet above sea level to 44,970 feet above sea level, a decrease of 836
The LH Flight Academy aircraft successfully landed at Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) on runway 28. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 271.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,300 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 420 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the recommended area. The touchdown speed was recorded at 109 knots, which is lower than the threshold speed of 131 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -216 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a relatively smooth landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 320°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,324 meters, which accounts for 43% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor deviations in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach and rollout phases, which may require further attention and improvement.
