Fly the flare through
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 at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,388 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,388 m of the 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 771 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Eindhoven Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 03, the crew prepared for departure, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 10 °C and a wind speed of 9 kt at 120 °. The takeoff distance of 1,714 meters, or 68% of the runway, was successfully covered, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 169 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from Eindhoven, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south of Batadorp, Netherlands. The climb from 1,046 ft to 34,987 ft, an increase of 33,941 ft, was achieved in 20 minutes and covered a distance of 124 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase followed, which began 2 miles north of Haiger, Germany, and lasted for 183 minutes, covering a distance of 1,326 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 35 miles south of Finike, Turkey, and ended with a descent from 34,996 ft to 1,331 ft, a decrease of 33,665 ft, in 29 minutes and covering 144 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at Paphos International Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 290.0 ° at 4 nautical miles and 1,286 ft above ground level. The landing was completed on runway 29, which had a length of 2,692 meters. Although the threshold height was above target, the threshold speed was well above target at 155 kt. The touchdown point was 363 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 146 kt was a little fast, while the touchdown rate of -211 fpm was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance of 2,315 meters, or 86% of the runway, was successfully covered, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. After taxiing to the parking area, the aircraft had completed a total flight distance of 1,605 nautical miles, using 9,294 kg of fuel and taking a total of 250 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 29 at LCPH Paphos International Airport, a 2,692-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the east. The aircraft was heading 290.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,286 feet above ground level. Although the approach quality was satisfactory, the threshold height at 66 feet above ground level was above the target, indicating a slightly higher-than-desired approach path angle.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it was traveling at a speed of 146 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -211 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 363 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 meters from the centerline, which could be attributed to a minor deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind of 7 knots at 160°, contributed to a relatively calm environment for the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,315 meters was 86% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 82.7%. While there were some minor deviations from the target values, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's capabilities ensured a safe and controlled landing.
