Next time
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 181 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 351 fpm.
Departure
Rotate the moment the speed tape reaches 68 kt, not after it.
What happened: Rotation was held until 74 kt, 6 kt past the 68 kt rotation target. Carrying that much extra speed into rotation usually adds unwanted energy right at liftoff.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. 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 310 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Partenavia P68B Blue-Black taxied from the parking area to runway 11 at EKRK Copenhagen Roskilde Airport in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 11, using a takeoff distance of 380 m (21 % of the runway). Liftoff was achieved at 75 kt. Local weather at the time reported a temperature of 16 °C, wind 4 kt from 160°, with a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
Climb began overhead Tune in Region Sjaelland, Denmark, with the altitude increasing from 1,171 ft asl to 1,552 ft asl - a gain of 381 ft - in less than 1 minute while covering less than 1 nm.
Level cruise was established 1 mile east of Tune, lasting 2 minutes and encompassing a distance of 4 nm.
The final approach to runway 21 at EKRK Copenhagen Roskilde Airport was executed from the north-east, on a heading of 210.0°, at 2 nm and 720 ft agl.
Landing on runway 21, which is 1,499 m long, occurred with a threshold speed slightly above target at 79 kt. Touchdown was recorded 309 m down the runway at 66 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 203 fpm and very good runway-touchdown alignment. Weather at landing was temperature 15 °C, wind 4 kt from 160°, with a 3 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind component.
The total landing distance measured 763 m, representing 51 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
In total, the flight covered 8 nm, lasted 5 minutes, and consumed 3 kg of fuel.
The aircraft Black Square Commander 114TC N177AQ established the final approach to runway 26 at EHTE Teuge Airport from the east, maintaining a heading of 266.0 ° at 0 nm and 68 ft AGL. The approach was noted as having a good threshold height and the overall score was 100.0 %.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold speed was a little below target at 60 kt. The aircraft continued the flare and prepared for touchdown with the indicated parameters.
Touchdown occurred 129 m down the runway at a speed of 50 kt, which was described as good. The vertical rate was smooth at minus 122 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 498 m, representing 42 % of the 1,194 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
With a perfect score, the landing was essentially flawless; a minor refinement is to target the published threshold speed more precisely to eliminate the slight undershoot, ensuring the approach speed matches the reference value for optimal energy management. Maintaining this speed discipline will keep the already excellent performance consistent across all phases.
