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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 35 kt FAST on the reference speed of 122 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,586 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 339 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Queen Alia International Airport, the Boeing 737-600 initiated its takeoff roll on runway 26L. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 135 kt, clearing the runway threshold at 2,060 meters, which represented 56% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 30 °C, with a gentle headwind of 8 kt and a crosswind of 3 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile northeast of Al Jizah, Jordan. The climb phase was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, from 3,351 ft to 39,752 ft, over a distance of 299 nm, in 42 minutes. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 132 minutes and covered a distance of 995 nm, approximately 100 miles southwest of Paphos, Cyprus. The descent phase commenced 2 miles north of Gorbehaza, Hungary, and saw the aircraft decrease in altitude from 39,864 ft to 4,347 ft over a distance of 105 nm, in 17 minutes.
The final approach to runway 09 at Poprad-Tatry Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 95.0° at 4 nm and 2,025 ft above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 129 kt, which was above the target value. The touchdown distance of 340 m was within acceptable limits, although the touchdown speed of 122 kt was slightly faster than desired. The aircraft's touchdown rate of -240 fpm was fair, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in 1 minute. The total flight distance was 1,406 nm, with a total flight time of 198 minutes and a fuel consumption of 8,139 kg.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 09 at LZTT Poprad-Tatry Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft maintained a steady heading of 95.0° as it descended from 2,025 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The approach was characterized by a stable and consistent rate of descent, culminating in a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed, registering 129 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 340 meters was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 122 knots was a tad fast, but the aircraft's touchdown rate of -240 feet per minute was fair. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots, contributed to a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The Boeing 737-600's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 794 meters, accounting for 31% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was scored 99.0%, reflecting the crew's exceptional skill and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
