Narrative:
A single engine small aircraft X landed and an small aircraft Y xed the landing threshold approximately 1500' behind the small aircraft X. FAA mandates 3000' same runway sep. I was too busy to notice that a 'go-around' was needed and when I saw the small aircraft Y cross the threshold it appeared to be a safer operation to allow the sep error then send the small aircraft Y around while in the flare and, as well, the airspeed would increase there by decreasing the sep between the two.

Title: ACFT LANDED BEHIND ANOTHER ACFT WITH LESS THAN REQUIRE RWY SEPARATION.
Narrative: A SINGLE ENG SMA X LANDED AND AN SMA Y XED THE LNDG THRESHOLD APPROX 1500' BEHIND THE SMA X. FAA MANDATES 3000' SAME RWY SEP. I WAS TOO BUSY TO NOTICE THAT A 'GO-AROUND' WAS NEEDED AND WHEN I SAW THE SMA Y CROSS THE THRESHOLD IT APPEARED TO BE A SAFER OPERATION TO ALLOW THE SEP ERROR THEN SEND THE SMA Y AROUND WHILE IN THE FLARE AND, AS WELL, THE AIRSPD WOULD INCREASE THERE BY DECREASING THE SEP BTWN THE TWO.
