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 5,033 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,033 ft of the 8,144 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,676 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 06L at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport. The taxi-out phase lasted 14 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 06L, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 3,306 ft, representing 33 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 150 kt. Local weather conditions were a temperature of 38 °F, wind 5 kt from 030°, with a 3 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt headwind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of El Prat de Llobregat, with the airplane climbing from 962 ft asl to 33,906 ft asl, an increase of 32,944 ft. The climb was completed in 19 minutes while covering 102 nm.
Level cruise began 4 miles north of Alas i Cerc and continued for 159 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 1,175 nm at cruise altitude.
Descent started 1 mile west of Gusum in Östergoetland County, Sweden, with a descent from 34,000 ft asl to 1,416 ft asl, a loss of 32,584 ft. The descent lasted 22 minutes and covered 120 nm.
The final approach to runway 26 at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport was flown from the east, on a heading of 256.0°, at 4 nm and 1,293 ft agl.
Landing on runway 26, which is 8,144 ft long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 138 kt. Touchdown occurred 311 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 131 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 204 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. Local weather at the time was a temperature of 33 °F, wind 5 kt from 030°, a 4 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt tailwind component.
The rollout distance measured 4,768 ft, representing 59 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,405 nm, took 213 minutes, and consumed 19,282 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 completed a final approach to runway 26 at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport from the east, maintaining a heading of 256.0° at 4 nm and 1,293 ft agl. Local weather was 33 °F with a wind of 5 kt from 030°, including a 4 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt tailwind component. The overall landing score was recorded as 99.2 %.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft presented a good threshold height and achieved a threshold speed that was good at 138 kt.
Touchdown occurred 311 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 131 kt that was good, a descent rate that was fair at minus 204 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment that was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 4,768 ft, representing 59 % of the runway length, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
Refine the flare to achieve a slightly shallower descent rate and aim to touch down within the designated zone rather than beyond it. These adjustments will further improve the already high landing performance.
