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 1,702 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,702 m of the 2,295 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 803 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A32NX began with a taxi from the parking area to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure took place from runway 09L at KPHL Philadelphia International Airport. The aircraft used 1,612 meters (56% of the runway) for the takeoff roll, reaching a liftoff speed of 155 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 4°C with a wind of 7 knots coming from 69°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots.
The enroute climb phase started one mile west of National Park in New Jersey, with the aircraft climbing from 1,039 feet above sea level to 38,284 feet above sea level, covering a total distance of 160 nautical miles in 26 minutes. The enroute level cruise began 113 miles southeast of Atlantic City and lasted 154 minutes, covering a distance of 1,180 nautical miles.
The descent phase of the flight started 55 miles north of R095 British Virgin Static Carrier - Prince of Wales in the British Virgin Islands. The aircraft descended from 40,028 feet above sea level to 2,682 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles in 18 minutes. Another brief enroute level cruise phase started 12 miles west of TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport in Saint Martin and lasted 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport was from the west, heading at 83.0°, 4 nautical miles out, and at an altitude of 1,530 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 10 at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport had a runway length of 2,295 meters. The landing threshold height was slightly above the target at 57 feet above ground level. The touchdown speed was good at 128 knots, with a touchdown rate of -154 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 351 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,586 meters, which was 69% of the runway length.
After landing, taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance covered was 1,473 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 218 minutes. The aircraft consumed 15,779 pounds of fuel during the flight.
