Improve the touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,484 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 523 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 25L at LFRB Brest Bretagne Airport, a movement that lasted 5 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 25L, a takeoff distance of 1,234 m was recorded, representing 44 % of the runway. Liftoff speed was 146 kt. Local weather reported temperature 18 °C, wind 2 kt from 250°, with a 0 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead LFRB Brest Bretagne Airport, climbing from 1,267 ft asl to 40,545 ft asl, an increase of 39,279 ft achieved in 40 minutes while covering 336 nm.
The first level cruise began 1 mile south east of Worlingworth, Suffolk, England and continued for 103 minutes, during which 888 nm were flown.
Descent started 9 miles south west of Korsnaes, Pohjanmaa, Finland, descending from 41,008 ft asl to 2,303 ft asl, a decrease of 38,705 ft in 25 minutes and covering 175 nm.
A subsequent level cruise was initiated 5 miles south east of Hailuoto, Pohjois-Pohjanmaa, Finland, lasting 3 minutes and covering 10 nm.
Final approach to runway 12 at EFOU Oulu Airport was conducted from the north-west, on a heading of 121.0° at 4 nm and 1,294 ft agl.
Landing on runway 12, which is 2,484 m long, occurred with a threshold speed slightly above target at 130 kt. Touchdown was recorded 105 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 118 kt and a vertical rate of minus 189 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Local weather at the time was temperature 20 °C, wind 2 kt from 170°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
The total landing distance measured 992 m, representing 40 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment remained perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a movement that took 1 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 1,416nm, required 178 and used 7,644 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 entered the final approach to runway 12 at EFOU Oulu Airport from the north-west on a heading of 121.0° at 4 nm and 1,294 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft was slightly above the target speed, recording 130 kt, and the threshold height was good. The flare produced a touchdown point 105 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 118 kt that was judged good and a touchdown rate of minus 189 fpm also good. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft touched down at 118 kt, descending at minus 189 fpm, and maintained perfect alignment with the runway centreline. The touchdown occurred 105 m beyond the designated touchdown zone.
Rollout covered a total landing distance of 992 m, representing 40 % of the 2,484 m runway, and runway rollout alignment remained perfect. Local weather was 20 °C with wind 2 kt from 170°, giving a 2 kt headwind and a 2 kt crosswind.
Minor refinements include reducing the threshold speed to meet the target and aiming for a touchdown point closer to the start of the touchdown zone to optimise runway usage.
