Arrival
Take the power back earlier on final, so the aircraft settles onto the path and the speed comes back to 141 kt together. Do not push down for the height: that only adds speed.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 73 ft agl, 23 ft agl above the 50 ft agl target, and at 147 kt, 6 kt over the 141 kt threshold speed. High and fast together is energy the runway has to absorb, and this touchdown came 409 m beyond the aim point.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 141 kt on short final, then 50 ft agl over the threshold
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,918 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,918 m of the 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 866 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 21 at Eindhoven Airport in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 21, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 166 kt and departed after using 1,677 m of runway, representing 61 % of the available length. Ambient conditions were 10 °C with a 2 kt wind from 29°, no cross-wind component and a 2 kt tail-wind component.
Climb commenced over Oerle in the province of Noord-Brabant, the Netherlands, with the aircraft ascending from 1,110 ft asl to 36,992 ft asl, a gain of 35,882 ft achieved in 22 minutes while covering 148 nm.
Level cruise began 1 mile north-east of EDYD Garbenheimer Wiesen Airfield in Wetzlar, Hessen, Germany, and was maintained for 175 minutes, during which 1,288 nm were flown.
Descent started 43 miles south of LGKJ Kastelorizo Airport on Kastelorizo Island, South Aegean, Greece, with the aircraft descending from 37,001 ft asl to 1,342 ft asl, a loss of 35,659 ft in 30 minutes while covering 164 nm.
Final approach to runway 11 at Paphos International Airport was executed from 1,332 ft agl to 93 ft agl in 97 seconds, and the aircraft was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 11 was performed with a runway length of 2,692 m; the threshold height of 73 ft agl was well above target and the threshold speed was 147 kt. Touchdown occurred 443 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 140 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 273 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.7 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 26 °C with a 13 kt wind from 189°, a 13 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
The total landing distance recorded was 1,831 m, representing 68 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was described as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 7 minutes, covering 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,608 nm, required 241 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 8,939 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 approached runway 11 at LCPH Paphos International Airport with a stabilised approach assessed at the 1,000 ft gate; gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed were all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,332 ft agl to 93 ft agl in 97 seconds while temperature was 26 °C, wind 13 kt from 189°, providing a 2 kt headwind and a 13 kt cross-wind component.
At the threshold the height of 73 ft agl was well above the target and the threshold speed of 147 kt was recorded as good. The flare followed the threshold parameters before touchdown.
Touchdown occurred 443 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 140 kt, noted as a little fast, and a vertical rate of minus 273 fpm, rated fair. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,831 m, representing 68 % of the 2,692 m runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
Coaching should concentrate on achieving the correct threshold height and refining the flare to place touchdown within the designated zone while moderating speed to the target value.
