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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,652 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,652 m of the 3,344 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 419 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E175 taxied from the parking area to runway 10L at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, a movement that lasted 7 minutes and covered 2 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 10L, using 1,200 m (30 % of the runway) before liftoff at 143 kt. Local conditions were temperature 22 °C, wind 11 kt from 29°, providing a 5 kt headwind and 9 kt crosswind.
Climb began overhead KORD, climbing from 1,652 ft asl to 34,430 ft asl, an increase of 32,778 ft achieved in 17 minutes while covering 115 nm.
The first level cruise started 2 miles east of MI77 Shafter Airport, lasting 59 minutes and covering 453 nm.
Descent commenced 7 miles northwest of Prescott, Ontario, descending from 34,007 ft asl to 2,976 ft asl, a loss of 31,031 ft in 18 minutes over 105 nm.
A subsequent level cruise was flown overhead CSK3 Montreal / Mascouche Airport, lasting 3 minutes and covering 9 nm.
Another brief level cruise occurred over Saint-Leonard, lasting 1 minute and covering 4 nm.
The final approach to runway 24R at CYUL was executed, descending from 1,136 ft agl to 66 ft agl in 88 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing was performed on runway 24R, which is 3,344 m long; the threshold speed was 135 kt, touchdown occurred at 419 m from the threshold with a speed of 129 kt, a descent rate of minus 271 fpm, and perfect runway alignment. Local weather was temperature 21 °C, wind 4 kt from 240°, giving a 4 kt headwind and 1 kt crosswind.
Runway rollout alignment remained perfect, and the total landing distance recorded was 1,569 m, representing 47 % of the runway.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 694 nm, required 112 of elapsed time, and consumed 2,068 kg of fuel.
The approach to runway 24R at CYUL was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,136 ft agl to 66 ft agl in 88 seconds, maintaining the required parameters throughout the final approach.
At threshold the speed was recorded as good at 135 kt and the threshold height was good. The flare was executed with the aircraft positioned correctly for touchdown.
Touchdown occurred 419 m down the runway at a speed of 129 kt, noted as a little fast, with a touchdown rate of -271 fpm, described as fair. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,569 m, representing 47 % of the 3,344 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather was 21 °C with wind 4 kt from 240°, including a 1 kt crosswind and a 4 kt headwind.
Reduce the touchdown speed slightly toward the target VREF to eliminate the “a little fast” indication and aim for a gentler vertical rate to improve the “fair” descent rate rating. These adjustments will help maintain the high overall score while refining the landing precision.
