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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,764 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,764 m of the 4,112 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 571 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Aircraft departed from Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand, rolling out onto runway 19L after a taxiing period of 8 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles. The takeoff distance of 1,632 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway, was achieved at a liftoff speed of 171 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 34°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 190°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 7-knot headwind.
The enroute climb phase began approximately 1 mile south of Suvarnabhumi Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 975 feet above sea level to 9,233 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. This was followed by a brief level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 16 nautical miles, before another climb phase commenced 2 miles northwest of Samut Prakan. The aircraft continued to ascend, reaching a maximum altitude of 33,978 feet in 32 minutes, covering a distance of 243 nautical miles. The flight then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 90 minutes and covering 792 nautical miles, before another climb phase began at a latitude of 12.6530589 and longitude of 83.624456. The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes, with the final level cruise phase lasting 179 minutes and covering 1,547 nautical miles.
The aircraft began its descent 20 miles east of Mwingi, Kenya, and descended from 38,997 feet to 6,640 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 06 at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft touching down 166 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 139 knots. The total landing distance of 1,694 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway, was slightly above the desired threshold. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 5 minutes. The total flight distance of 4,062 nautical miles was achieved in 493 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 55,795 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 06 at HKJK Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, a 4,121-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the south west. The approach quality was good, with a threshold height that met expectations. The threshold speed of 138 knots was also well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down 166 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 139 knots, which was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate of -382 feet per minute was firm, suggesting a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.5 meters, which may have been due to crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a 5-knot headwind, were favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,694 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway, was within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.1 meters, which may have been due to the same factors that affected the touchdown position. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 92.5%.
