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 1,348 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,348 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 353 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 26R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, a movement that lasted 18 minutes and covered 4 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 26R, the Challenger 350 accelerated over a takeoff distance of 464 m, representing 11 % of the runway, and lifted off at 121 kt; local weather reported a temperature of 17 °C, wind 1 kt from 270 °, with a 0 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead KLAS, rising from 3,102 ft asl to 16,007 ft asl, an increase of 12,906 ft achieved in 7 minutes while covering 31 nm.
The first cruise segment began 8 miles south of 0L7 Jean, lasting 18 minutes and extending 124 nm at level flight.
Descent phase one started 2 miles northwest of Lake Arrowhead, descending from 15,987 ft asl to 5,036 ft asl, a loss of 10,951 ft in 7 minutes and spanning 32 nm.
A second cruise interval originated 1 mile southwest of KCNO Chino Airport, persisting for 3 minutes and covering 11 nm.
The subsequent descent began 1 mile north of Brea, dropping from 4,075 ft asl to 2,847 ft asl, a reduction of 1,228 ft in 2 minutes over 5 nm.
A brief cruise followed, starting 1 mile north of La Mirada, lasting 2 minutes and encompassing 5 nm.
The final descent commenced overhead Downey, falling from 2,435 ft asl to 1,233 ft asl, a decrease of 1,202 ft in 2 minutes while covering 7 nm.
On final approach to runway 25 at KHHR Jack Northrop Field, the aircraft approached from the east on a heading of 267.0 °, at 4 nm and 1,161 ft agl.
Landing on runway 25 was executed with a threshold speed of 110 kt; touchdown occurred 353 m down the runway at 99 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 312 fpm and a perfect alignment; local conditions were 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 269 °, crosswind 0 kt, headwind 1 kt, and the total landing distance measured 927 m, representing 69 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment remained perfect as the aircraft decelerated to a stop.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 225 nm, required 60 minutes, and consumed 999 kg of fuel.
The Bombardier Challenger 350 entered the final approach to runway 25 at KHHR Jack Northrop Field from the east on a heading of 267.0° at 4 nm and 1,161 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 110 kt. The aircraft crossed the threshold and the touchdown distance was good at 353 m.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 99 kt, which was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at minus 312 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 927 m, representing 69 % of the 1,348 m runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect. Local weather was 15 °C with wind 1 kt from 269°, crosswind 0 kt and headwind 1 kt.
To refine the already strong performance, a slightly softer flare could reduce the firm touchdown rate while preserving the excellent speed and alignment already achieved. Maintaining the current approach stability will continue to support consistent, high-scoring landings.
