Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.4 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,034 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 153 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 19 at LEVX Vigo Airport, a Cessna 208B aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance was 484 meters, which accounted for 20% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 79 knots, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot at 270 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Vigo Airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,506 feet above sea level to 10,474 feet, an increase of 8,968 feet in just 8 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles northeast of Arbo, Galicia, Spain. The descent from 10,457 feet to 7,118 feet, a decrease of 3,339 feet, took just 3 minutes and covered 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, climbing again from 7,116 feet to 9,709 feet, an increase of 2,593 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles. This climb started 3 miles northwest of Entrimo, Galicia, Spain. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles, before beginning another descent. This descent started 9 miles north of Vieira do Minho, Distrito de Braga, Portugal, and took the aircraft from 9,303 feet to 7,128 feet, a decrease of 2,175 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its level cruise, lasting 3 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles, before beginning another descent. This descent started 2 miles north of Galegos, Distrito de Braga, Portugal, and took the aircraft from 6,637 feet to 2,633 feet, a decrease of 4,004 feet, in 5 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 5 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles, before beginning its final approach to runway 17 at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport.
The final approach was made from the north, heading 169.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,465 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a threshold speed slightly below target at 62 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 151 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 62 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -305 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 844 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 86 nautical miles, and the flight used 131 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport, with a final approach score of 98.9%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 169.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,465 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise landing on runway 17, which has a length of 3,034 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 62 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 151 meters, and the touchdown speed of 62 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was firm at -305 feet per minute (fpm), which is a desirable rate for a safe landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. However, this did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind component.
The total landing distance was 844 meters, which is 28% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed a smooth and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and aligned it with the centerline of the runway. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the approach and landing phases.
