What went well

Straight touchdown — 7.3 ft off the centreline, no bounce
Rollout held the centreline — 7.6 ft off at taxi speed
Lifted off at 142 kt — on the 156 kt target

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, Threshold height at 79 ft agl was well above target at 46 %, −1.61 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 2,644 ft at 62 %, Touchdown rate was -382 fpm at 90 %, −0.36 points
Arrival Final 1 — Approach angle 3.4 ° at 88 %, −0.10 points

Next time

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 416 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 670 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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.
