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 five checks, where the approach path is 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 3,695 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 674 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 09, a movement that lasted 5 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 09 at VILK Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport, the takeoff run measured 2,092 m, representing 81 % of the runway length, and liftoff was achieved at 160 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 31 °C, wind 2 kt from 260 °, with a crosswind component of 0 kt and a tailwind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile east of VILK, with the aircraft ascending from 1,366 ft asl to 36,754 ft asl, an increase of 35,388 ft achieved in 28 minutes while covering 191 nm.
The first level cruise began 15 miles south of Bhabhua, lasting 142 minutes and traversing 1,041 nm.
Descent started 24 miles south-east of Sangkhla Buri, during which altitude fell from 36,992 ft asl to 2,595 ft asl, a decrease of 34,396 ft completed in 21 minutes over a distance of 126 nm.
A brief level cruise followed, initiating 3 miles north-east of Khlong Luang, lasting 3 minutes and covering 8 nm.
The final approach to runway 21R at VTBD Don Mueang International Airport was flown from the north-east, on a heading of 209.0 °, at 4 nm and 1,283 ft agl.
Landing on runway 21R, whose total length is 3,695 m, occurred with a threshold height of 61 ft agl and a threshold speed of 136 kt. The touchdown point was 264 m beyond the touchdown zone, and touchdown speed was 132 kt. Touchdown rate was fair at minus 296 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Local weather at the time showed a temperature of 29 °C, wind 2 kt from 240 °, with a crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind of 1 kt. The total landing distance recorded was 1,377 m, representing 37 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,373 nm, taking 202 and used 6,852 kg of fuel.
TAP Air Portugal flight CS-TVG, scored 91.6 %, approached runway 21R at VTBD Don Mueang International Airport from the north-east on a heading of 209.0° at 4 nm and 1,283 ft agl. The final 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 aircraft was 61 ft agl, which was above the target height, and the threshold speed of 136 kt was recorded as good; ambient temperature was 29 °C with wind 2 kt from 240°, including a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
Touchdown occurred 264 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a good touchdown speed of 132 kt, a fair touchdown rate of minus 296 fpm, and perfect runway-touchdown alignment.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,377 m, representing 37 % of the 3,695 m runway, and runway-rollout alignment was perfect.
To tighten performance, aim to achieve the target threshold height and refine the sink-rate profile to improve the touchdown rate, while maintaining the overall high standard reflected by the 91.6 % score.
