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 1,995 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 589 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Li-2 Aeroflot USSR-69318 began with a 19-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LROP Henri Coanda. The departure took place on runway 08R, with a takeoff distance of 428 meters, covering 12% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 72 knots. The local weather at the time of departure indicated a temperature of 13°C with a 13-knot wind coming from 90°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 13-knot headwind.
The en-route climb started 1 mile northwest of Tunari (Ilfov, Romania), ascending from 1,089 feet above sea level to 8,128 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 13 miles in 7 minutes. The subsequent level cruise phase began 1 mile north of Poienarii Burchii (Prahova, Romania) and lasted 18 minutes, covering 53 miles.
The descent segment commenced 3 miles southeast of Cristian (Brasov, Romania), descending from 7,944 feet above sea level to 7,333 feet above sea level over a distance of 7 miles in 2 minutes. Another level cruise phase began 1 mile southwest of Codlea (Brasov, Romania) for 9 minutes, covering 29 miles. The final descent began 3 miles southwest of Bunesti (Brasov, Romania), descending from 7,022 feet above sea level to 3,491 feet above sea level over a distance of 20 miles in 9 minutes.
The landing took place on runway 07 at LRTM Vidrasau, with a runway length of 1,995 meters. The aircraft approached at a height of 60 feet above ground level, with a speed of 79 knots at the threshold. The touchdown occurred 588 meters from the threshold at a speed of 66 knots, with a vertical speed indicator showing a descent rate of -258 feet per minute. The local weather during landing had a temperature of 12°C, with a 6-knot wind coming from 90°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 6-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 1,137 meters, which corresponds to 57% of the runway length.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 mile. The entire flight covered a distance of 143 miles, lasting 130 minutes and consuming 332 kilograms of fuel.
