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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,039 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 417 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 07 at Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport, a movement that lasted 5 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 07, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 140 kt and left the ground after traveling 907 m, which represented 41 % of the runway length. Local weather at the time was Temperature 34 °C, Wind 8 kt at 70 °, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 7 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead the departure airport, rising from 1,069 ft asl to 39,694 ft asl, an increase of 38,625 ft achieved in 44 minutes while covering 307 nm.
Level cruise began 56 miles north of Isabela (Municipio de Isabela, Puerto Rico) and continued for 139 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 945 nm.
Descent started 3 miles north of 33FL Flying S Ranch Airport, Kenansville, Florida, descending from 40,001 ft asl to 1,315 ft asl, a decrease of 38,686 ft in 21 minutes and covering 168 nm.
The final approach to runway 08 at Jacksonville International Airport was executed from the southwest, on a heading of 71.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,256 ft agl.
Landing on runway 08, which is 3,039 m long, was performed with a threshold speed of 128 kt. Touchdown occurred at 418 m down the runway with a speed of 125 kt, a touchdown rate of minus 165 fpm, and perfect runway alignment. Weather at the airport reported Temperature 26 °C, Wind 2 kt at 140 °, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
The total landing distance recorded was 913 m, representing 30 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment remained perfect.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,426 nm, took 212 minutes, and consumed 8,072 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 established a final approach to runway 08 at KJAX Jacksonville International Airport from the south-west, tracking a heading of 71.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,256 ft agl. Local weather was 26 °C with wind 2 kt from 140 °, providing a 2 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt headwind.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good height and a good threshold speed of 128 kt.
Touchdown occurred 418 m down the runway; the touchdown speed of 125 kt was a little fast while the vertical rate was good at minus 165 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Rollout alignment remained perfect, with a total landing distance of 913 m, representing 30 % of the 3,039 m runway.
Reduce the touchdown speed by a few knots to bring it closer to the optimal value, which will further improve energy management on landing. Maintaining the current alignment and rate will preserve the high overall score of 99.9 %.
