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 2,585 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 755 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Cessna Longitude began with a 7-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LIMZ Cuneo International Airport. The departure roll from runway 03 covered 660 meters, which was 31% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 136 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 8°C with a 5-knot wind coming from 339°, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 3-knot headwind.
The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of Genola, Italy, ascending from 2,245 feet ASL to 30,507 feet ASL in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nm. The enroute level cruise phase began 7 miles north of Vinadio, lasting 9 minutes and covering a distance of 68 nm. The enroute descent commenced 1 mile southwest of Banon, France, descending from 30,494 feet ASL to 1,298 feet ASL in 21 minutes, covering 73 nm.
The final approach to runway 30R at LFMT Montpellier-Méditerranée Airport was executed from the southeast at a heading of 305.0°, 4 nm away and at an altitude of 1,276 feet AGL. The landing was made on runway 30R, which had a length of 2,585 meters. The threshold height at 61 feet AGL was slightly above target. The touchdown speed of 101 knots was good, with a touchdown rate of -157 ft/m. The touchdown point was 325 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather at the time of landing was 11°C with an 8-knot wind from 320°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and an 8-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 1,251 meters, representing 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment after landing was assessed as very good.
After landing, 2 minutes were spent taxiing from the runway back to the parking area, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 173 nm, which took a total of 49 minutes and consumed 736 kg of fuel.
