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 1,925 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,925 m of the 2,713 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 497 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Vancouver International Airport (CYVR), the Boeing 777-300 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 26L, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 22 °C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots from a direction of 290°. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 155 knots, using only 32% of the available runway length of 1,034 meters.
As the aircraft climbed away from CYVR, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 36,985 feet above sea level in just 15 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles. The climb was a steep one, with an increase of 35,995 feet in altitude. Once level cruise was established, the aircraft flew for 95 minutes, covering a distance of 740 nautical miles, before beginning its descent towards Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX). The descent started 5 miles southwest of the Belridge Strip McKittrick (1CA1), and the aircraft descended from 36,972 feet to 1,430 feet above sea level in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached KLAX, it aligned itself with runway 24R, a 2,712-meter-long runway, and began its final approach from the east. The local weather conditions were again favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a headwind of 7 knots from a direction of 250°. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 140 knots, slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 146 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -201 feet per minute was fair, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 988 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 16,452 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 146 minutes.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 24R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport with a score of 99.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 263.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,291 feet above ground level. The final approach was characterized by good quality, with a smooth descent and a well-controlled rate of descent. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 146 knots was within the acceptable range.
As the aircraft touched down 83 meters beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly above the recommended value. However, the touchdown rate of -201 feet per minute was fair, indicating a controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the touchdown phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a 7-knot headwind, contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,846 meters was 68% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was characterized by good approach quality, a well-controlled touchdown, and a smooth rollout.
