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 five 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 2,754 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 373 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Eindhoven Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 21, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 1,046 meters, or 42% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 147 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 14°C, with a gentle headwind of 4 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from Eindhoven Airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 1,087 feet above sea level to 5,015 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The climb continued in stages, with the aircraft reaching a cruise altitude of 11,007 feet above sea level after a series of enroute climbs and level cruises. The total flight distance covered during the enroute phase was 84 nautical miles, with the aircraft utilizing 1,188 kilograms of fuel throughout the journey. The local weather conditions remained relatively stable, with temperatures ranging from 14°C to 11°C and wind speeds varying between 4 and 6 knots.
As the aircraft began its descent into Eindhoven Airport, it initiated a controlled descent from 10,937 feet above sea level to 1,410 feet, a decrease of 9,526 feet in just 5 minutes. The final approach to runway 21 was executed from the northeast, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 125 knots and a touchdown distance of 374 meters. The total landing distance was 1,387 meters, or 55% of the runway's length, with the runway rollout alignment being perfect. After taxiing to the parking area, the aircraft completed its journey, having utilized a total of 28 minutes to cover the 84 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at EHEH Eindhoven Airport from the north east, heading 215.0° at 4 nm and 1,328 ft agl, was executed with good approach quality. The aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent throughout the approach phase, with a steady rate of descent and a smooth transition to the flare. The threshold height was good, indicating a well-executed flare and a controlled touchdown.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown speed of 125 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown distance of 374 m was good, indicating a well-controlled touchdown. The touchdown rate of -333 fpm was firm, but within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11°C and a headwind of 6 kt, contributed to a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The rollout phase was executed perfectly, with the aircraft maintaining a straight alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,387 m, which accounted for 55% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was executed with high precision and control, resulting in a score of 98.1%. The slight deviation in touchdown speed and threshold speed were minor issues, but did not significantly impact the overall quality of the landing.
