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. 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 3,052 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 459 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 20 at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 20, the aircraft used 1,598 m of runway, representing 67 % of the available length, and lifted off at 156 kt. Ambient conditions were 20 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 340°, a crosswind component of 1 kt and a tailwind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced overhead Paray-Vieille-Poste, rising from 1,258 ft asl to 34,010 ft asl, an altitude gain of 32,752 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 124 nm.
Level cruise began over Le Quesnoy-en-Artois and continued for 143 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 1,053 nm at cruise altitude.
Descent was initiated 17 miles southwest of Vik i Myrdal, Iceland, descending from 33,984 ft asl to 1,475 ft asl, a loss of 32,508 ft in 17 minutes and covering 97 nm.
The final approach to runway 28 at BIKF Keflavik International Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 270.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,320 ft agl. The aircraft then descended from 1,365 ft agl to 95 ft agl in 102 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gates criteria.
Landing on runway 28 was executed with a threshold speed of 141 kt, slightly above target. Touchdown occurred 461 m down the runway at 135 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 199 fpm and a lateral deviation of 4.7 m from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,070 m, equivalent to 35 % of the runway length, and the runway length is 3,052 m. Local weather at the time was 8 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 250°, a crosswind component of 2 kt and a headwind component of 6 kt.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, completing the landing phase without deviation.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,287 nm, lasted 191 minutes, and consumed 7,788 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320ceo entered the final approach to runway 28 at BIKF Keflavik International Airport from the east on a heading of 270.0° at 4 nm and 1,320 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and the aircraft descended from 1,365 ft agl to 95 ft agl in 102 seconds.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 141 kt. Touchdown distance was good at 461 m, while touchdown speed of 135 kt was a little fast. Touchdown rate was good at minus 199 fpm and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 m from the centreline. Local weather was 8 °C with wind 6 kt from 250°, including a 2 kt crosswind component and a 6 kt headwind.
The aircraft touched down 461 m down the runway at 135 kt, a little fast, with a vertical rate of minus 199 fpm and a lateral offset of 4.7 m from the centreline.
Rollout alignment was very good and the total landing distance was 1,070 m, representing 35 % of the 3,052 m runway length.
To improve the score, refine speed control to bring the threshold and touchdown speeds closer to target and adjust the landing line-up to reduce the 4.7 m centreline offset.
