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 3,038 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 419 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-600 started at Lanseria International Airport (FALA) in South Africa. The distance from parking to the runway was 1 nm, and the duration of the departure roll on runway 07 was 4 minutes. The takeoff distance was 1,313 m, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 135 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 24°C with a wind of 6 kn at 70 °, resulting in a crosswind of 2 kn and headwind of 6 kn.
The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of Lanseria International Airport, climbing from 5,371 ft above sea level (asl) to 41,407 ft asl. The increase in altitude was 36,036 ft, and the climb took 33 minutes to cover a distance of 264 nm. The level cruise started 11 miles north of Inhaca (FQIA) in Mozambique and lasted 121 minutes, covering a distance of 1,330 nm.
The enroute descent began 41 miles northeast of Sainte-Rose in Réunion, descending from 40,964 ft asl to 20,428 ft asl. The descent covered a distance of 46 nm and took 5 minutes. Another level cruise phase began 12 miles west of Chamarel in Mauritius, lasting 1 minute and covering a distance of 5 nm. The subsequent descent started 7 miles west of Chamarel, descending from 19,849 ft asl to 3,862 ft asl. This descent lasted 3 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nm.
The landing took place on runway 14 at Mauritius International Airport (FIMP), where the runway length was 3,038 m. The height at the threshold was 34 ft above ground level (agl), and the speed at the threshold was 123 kn. The touchdown occurred 418 m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 120 kn and a vertical speed indicator (VSI) reading of -344 ft/m. The local weather during landing was 24°C with no wind, resulting in no crosswind or headwind. The total landing distance was 880 m, which accounted for 29% of the runway.
After landing, the distance from the runway to parking was less than 1 nm, and the duration of this segment was 3 minutes. The total flight distance from start to finish was 1,673 nm, taking 176 minutes in total. The flight consumed 8,313 kg of fuel during the journey.
