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 3,352 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 406 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Boeing 737-900 began with a quick 3-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at CYFB Iqaluit. The departure roll on runway 34 covered less than 1 nm and the takeoff distance was 1,574 m with 60% of the runway used. The liftoff speed was 157 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 4°C with a 7 kn wind coming from 140°, resulting in a 1 kn crosswind and 7 kn tailwind.
The enroute climb started over CYFB Iqaluit and the aircraft ascended from 1,094 ft asl to 30,847 ft asl, climbing 29,753 ft in 12 minutes and covering 63 nm. The enroute level cruise began at a specific Latitude and Longitude point and lasted 95 minutes, covering 516 nm.
The enroute descent started at a different Latitude and Longitude point, descending from 30,998 ft asl to 3,106 ft asl, a total decrease of 27,892 ft in 17 minutes and covering 97 nm. Another brief level cruise occurred just 2 miles south of McKenzie River and lasted less than 1 minute, covering 1 nm. This was followed by a short descent starting 3 miles southeast of McKenzie River, descending from 3,108 ft asl to 2,240 ft asl, a decrease of 868 ft in 1 minute and covering 4 nm.
The landing took place on runway 08 at CYYR Goose Bay, with a runway length of 3,352 m. The touchdown occurred 404 m from the threshold at a speed of 127 kn, with a VSI of -206 ft/m. The local weather at the time of landing was 15°C with a 5 kn wind from 250°, resulting in a 1 kn crosswind and 5 kn tailwind. The total landing distance was 1,257 m, which was 38% of the runway length.
Finally, the taxi from the runway to the parking area took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance for the journey was 691 nm, which took 104 minutes and consumed 5,177 kg of fuel.
