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.

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 2,067 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,067 m of the 3,748 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 589 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport (LDZA), the Boeing 777-300 initiated its takeoff roll on runway 04. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 156 kt, clearing the runway threshold in 1,010 meters, which represented 31% of the runway's length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 19 °C, with a gentle wind blowing at 3 kt from 240°.
As the aircraft climbed out of LDZA, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, reaching an altitude of 6,993 ft asl over Velika Kosnica. The climb phase was characterized by a series of level cruises and further climbs, with the aircraft eventually reaching a cruising altitude of 36,642 ft asl over Posavski Bregi. The enroute level cruise phase, which lasted 80 minutes, covered a significant distance of 678 nm. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 37,006 ft asl to 4,432 ft asl over Beypazari, Turkey. The final approach to runway 21C at Esenboğa International Airport (LTAC) was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft aligning itself for a touchdown on the runway.
The Boeing 777-300 landed on runway 21C, with a touchdown point located 183 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target value at 142 kt, while the touchdown rate was firm at -311 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.0 meters. The total landing distance was 1,997 meters, representing 53% of the runway's length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding its journey of 897 nm, which had taken 119 minutes and utilized 14,870 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 21C at LTAC Esenboğa International Airport with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 147 kt. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, allowing for a controlled descent onto the runway. The touchdown point was 183 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. The touchdown speed of 142 kt was a little fast, but the firm touchdown rate of -311 fpm suggested a controlled impact.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the slight tailwind of 2 kt. However, the rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the critical phase of flight. The total landing distance of 1,997 m was 53% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.
The approach quality was good, with a steady descent rate and a controlled touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 39 °, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 95.6%, reflecting a minor deviation from the ideal touchdown point and speed, but a good overall performance.
