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 5,215 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,215 ft of the 8,416 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,546 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT), the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 18C, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 100°F and a gentle headwind of 3 knots from a direction of 180°. With a crosswind of 0 knots, the aircraft took off, covering a distance of 5,880 feet, which represented 59% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 158 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KCLT, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 31,995 feet above sea level in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with the aircraft rising from 1,637 feet to 31,995 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 42 minutes and covered a distance of 325 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a series of descents, with the aircraft descending from 31,373 feet to 11,608 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 71 nautical miles. The final descent phase saw the aircraft landing on runway 10L at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (KFLL), with a total landing distance of 4,954 feet, representing 59% of the runway length.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown speed, with the aircraft touching down at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was also good, at -151 feet per minute. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 595 nautical miles, with the aircraft using 10,110 pounds of fuel over a flight duration of 97 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 10L at KFLL Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport with a high degree of precision, achieving a score of 99.6%. The aircraft's approach to the runway from the west, heading 91.0° at 4 nm and 1,262 ft above ground level, was characterized by good quality, setting the stage for a smooth touchdown. The threshold height was well-managed, and the threshold speed of 145 kt was achieved, indicating a well-executed approach.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down at a speed of 137 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -151 fpm was also good, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 185 ft beyond the touchdown zone, but this was not considered a significant deviation. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 82°F and no wind, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 4,954 ft was 59% of the runway length, indicating a well-executed landing. Overall, the landing was characterized by good approach quality, precise touchdown, and controlled rollout, resulting in a high score of 99.6%.
