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 for a circuit: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
Side view — the last 970 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 970 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 111 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Super Decathlon: Yellow began with a departure roll on runway 14 at EGHR Goodwood Aerodrome. The takeoff distance was 586 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 25 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 19°C with a 1 knot wind coming from 269°, resulting in a 1 knot crosswind and 1 knot tailwind.
The pilot executed a right-hand pattern entry from runway 14 at EGHR Goodwood Aerodrome, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 13 seconds. This was followed by a right-hand pattern crosswind from runway 14, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 12 seconds. The pattern downwind turn took the aircraft 1 nautical mile away from the runway at an angle of 56.7°. The pattern downwind leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 12 seconds.
The landing was performed on runway 32 at EGHR Goodwood Aerodrome, which has a length of 970 meters. The aircraft approached the threshold at a height of 10 feet above ground level and a speed of 53 knots. The touchdown occurred 91 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 48 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -130 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 15°C with a 1 knot wind coming from 269°, resulting in a 1 knot crosswind and 1 knot headwind.
The total flight distance covered was 4 nautical miles, taking 6 minutes and consuming 1 kilogram of fuel.
