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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,494 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,870 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Honda HA420 began with a short 2-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at KLXT Lee's Summit Municipal Airport. The departure roll on runway 36 covered 3,295 feet, which was 60% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed reached 151 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 60°F with a minimal 1 knot wind coming from 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
Enroute, the climb started 1 mile north of KLXT Lee's Summit Municipal Airport, ascending from 1,934 feet above sea level to 10,006 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 16 nautical miles and took 4 minutes. Subsequently, the level cruise began 2 miles west of Liberty, Missouri lasting 22 minutes and covering 115 nm.
The descent phase started 1 mile northwest of Emerson, Iowa, descending from 9,686 feet asl to 2,874 feet asl over a 6-minute span and a distance of 20 nm. The landing took place on runway 32R at KOMA Eppley Airport, a runway with a length of 8,494 feet. The aircraft was 65 feet above ground level at the threshold with a speed of 114 knots. The touchdown occurred 1,866 feet from the threshold at a speed of 102 knots, with a Vertical Speed Indicator reading of -270 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing showed 61°F temperature and a 1 knot wind from 270°, resulting in a 1 knot crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance was 3,152 feet, accounting for 37% of the runway length. Finally, the taxi from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered a distance of 161 nm, lasting 41 minutes and consuming 0 lbs of fuel.
