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 3,448 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 340 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport, covering 2 nm in 8 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 25L the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 2,054 m, which is 64 % of the runway, and lifted off at 148 kt. Local weather was temperature 24 °C, wind 15 kt at 230 °, cross-wind 5 kt and head-wind 14 kt.
Climb began overhead Zaventem, rising from 1,169 ft asl to 13,852 ft asl, an increase of 12,683 ft achieved in 4 minutes while covering 16 nm.
Level cruise commenced over Moerzeke and continued for 11 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 70 nm.
Descent started 1 mile north east of Maasdam (Provincie Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands), descending from 13,477 ft asl to 2,005 ft asl, a loss of 11,471 ft in 8 minutes and covering 41 nm.
A second level cruise segment was flown over Muiderberg for 2 minutes, covering 4 nm.
The next descent began 1 mile north east of Amsterdam-Zuidoost (Provincie Noord-Holland, The Netherlands), dropping from 2,000 ft asl to 1,319 ft asl, a decrease of 681 ft in 2 minutes and spanning 3 nm.
Final approach to runway 27 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was conducted from the east, on a heading of 267.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,308 ft agl.
The aircraft touched down on runway 27, whose length is 3,448 m; the threshold speed was recorded at 121 kt. Touchdown distance measured 341
The final approach to runway 27 at EHAM was flown from the east on a heading of 267.0 °, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,308 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 good and the threshold speed was good at 121 kt, indicating the aircraft was correctly configured for the flare.
Touchdown occurred 341 m down the runway; the touchdown speed of 120 kt was a little fast and the touchdown rate was firm at minus 392 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 7.8 m from the centreline.
Rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft travelled a total landing distance of 861 m, representing 25 % of the 3,448 m runway, under clear weather with a temperature of 21 °C, wind 14 kt from 240 °, crosswind 6 kt and headwind 12 kt.
Refine flare timing to reduce the touchdown speed toward the target and maintain tighter centreline tracking to minimise the 7.8 m offset. These adjustments will help convert the already strong 93.0 % score into an even more precise landing.
