Thank you for all your input. It all helps.

I think this is it! I am flaring a little too late it seems. Usual technique is crossing the runway at about 50' (sound right?). Looking at the aiming point. At 30', holding the landing attitude and bringing the thrust levers to idle. Maintaining the flare until touchdown.

The past few landings, I've found that by the time, my mind and hand coordinate. It turns out, I am flaring at 20'. Which in turn is too late and also, I am more fixated at the area directly ahead of me and not towards the end the end of the runway. The landings have been during night so another thing was the night effect of the runway gushing towards me. Where I recorded a 1.9G landing, the PNF called 4 whites as I was crossing the runway.

What I also need help with is, how should I be adjusting and modifying my flare, thrust techniques when being heavy, light, tailwind, headwind conditions?

What do you guys mean by reverse flare/ de-rotation?

Thank you again.
