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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 629 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Aircraft departed from SBOI Oiapoque Airport, located in Oiapoque, Amapa, Brazil, on runway 21. The takeoff roll was smooth, with a distance of 821 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 132 knots, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Oiapoque, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 38,685 feet above sea level in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 3 minutes and covering 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, reaching an altitude of 40,394 feet above sea level in 3 minutes, covering 22 nautical miles. The majority of the flight was spent in a level cruise, lasting 184 minutes and covering 775 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, first from 40,196 feet above sea level to 29,493 feet above sea level in 11 minutes, covering 73 nautical miles. The aircraft then climbed to 31,806 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, before beginning its final descent to 1,571 feet above sea level in 28 minutes, covering 138 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 12 at SBSG Governador Aluízio Alves International Airport, located in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown point 206 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 105 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -272 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,368 meters, accounting for 46% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,153 nautical miles, taking 167 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,620 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 12 at SBSG Governador Aluízio Alves International Airport from the west was initiated at 4 nm and 1,287 ft above ground level, heading 99.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height at 60 ft agl that was slightly above the target. The aircraft touched down 206 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 105 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -272 fpm was fair, indicating a controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind of 1 kt. The total landing distance of 1,368 m was 46% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 m from the centreline.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 90.2%. While there were some minor deviations from the target, the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The aircraft's performance was consistent with its capabilities, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
