Reduce your height at the threshold
See Arrival Landing
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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.

Side view — the last 2,052 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,052 m of the 3,350 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 389 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 29 at CYYT St. John's International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,543 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of St. John's, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 4°C. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of the airport and continued for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,375 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 36,009 feet, an increase of 34,634 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 12 miles south east of Harbour Breton, Newfoundland and Labrador. This phase lasted for 94 minutes and covered a distance of 679 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile north east of Warwick, Quebec. The descent from 36,007 feet to 3,238 feet took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 67 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time overhead Montreal-Est, Quebec, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final descent started overhead Saint-Leonard, Quebec, and took the aircraft from 2,960 feet to 1,405 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24R at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport was made from the north east, with a heading of 223.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,289 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 390 meters, which is good. However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -393 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 1°C. The total landing distance was 1,965 meters, which is 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 876 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 145 minutes. The aircraft used 4,972 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (CYUL) on runway 24R. The aircraft's final approach was from the north east, heading 223.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed with a high degree of precision, achieving a score of 94.9%.
Upon landing, the aircraft's threshold height was above the target, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly higher than intended. However, the threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 129 knots, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown distance of 390 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown.
Despite the satisfactory touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -393 feet per minute (fpm). This could potentially have caused some discomfort for passengers and crew, but it did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall safety of the landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline, which may have required some additional control inputs from the pilots to maintain alignment during the rollout phase. However, the runway rollout alignment was ultimately very good, indicating that the pilots were able to recover from the initial misalignment and maintain control of the aircraft.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics. However, the pilots were able to adapt to these conditions and execute a safe and successful landing.
Overall, the Airbus A319's landing at CYUL was a creditable performance, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and management of its descent and rollout. While there were some minor deviations from the desired touchdown parameters, the pilots were able to recover and maintain control of the aircraft, resulting in a safe and successful landing.
