Improve the touchdown
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
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 six 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 1,985 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 458 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 09 at ZULS Lhasa Gonggar Airport in 4 minutes, covering 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 09, using 2,289 m of runway (57 % of the available length) and lifted off at 136 kt. Local conditions were 10 C with a wind of 1 kt from 159 deg, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.
Climb began 1 mile east of ZULS, with the airplane ascending from 12,669 ft to 26,234 ft (an increase of 13,565 ft) in 10 minutes while covering 73 nm.
A level cruise segment started 1 mile south-east of Nujue and lasted 2 minutes, during which 12 nm were flown.
The next climb started 1 mile south-east of Suonacun, raising the aircraft from 26,728 ft to 28,729 ft (2,002 ft) in 7 minutes over 55 nm.
A subsequent cruise began 34 miles west of ZUNZ Nyingchi Mainling Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 12 nm.
Climb resumed 21 miles west of ZUNZ, with altitude increasing from 29,262 ft to 29,714 ft (452 ft) in 2 minutes while traveling 12 nm.
The following cruise segment started 9 miles north-west of ZUNZ, lasted 2 minutes and covered 12 nm.
Climb continued 10 miles north-east of ZUNZ, gaining 459 ft (30,253 ft to 30,711 ft) in 2 minutes and traversing 12 nm.
A cruise phase then began 22 miles north-east of ZUNZ, lasting 3 minutes and covering 26 nm.
Climb was initiated 49 miles east of ZUNZ, raising the aircraft from 31,702 ft to 32,174 ft (472 ft) in 2 minutes over 12 nm.
The next cruise started 1 mile east of Marangkangcun, lasted 2 minutes and covered 12 nm.
Climb overhead Tiqin increased altitude from 32,705 ft to 33,158 ft (453 ft) in 2 minutes while flying 12 nm.
A cruise segment began 1 mile south of Bota, lasted 7 minutes and covered 53 nm.
Climb resumed 47 miles south of ZUBD Qamdo Bangda Airport, gaining 518 ft (35,158 ft to 35,677 ft) in 2 minutes and covering 15 nm.
The following cruise started 46 miles south of ZUBD, lasted 2 minutes and covered 12 nm.
Climb began 50 miles south-east of ZUBD, raising the aircraft from 36,208 ft to 39,656 ft (3,448 ft) in 6 minutes while covering 45 nm.
A long cruise segment started 2 miles north-west of Zeruo, lasted 256 minutes and spanned 2,111 nm.
Descent commenced 50 miles west of RJTH Hachijojima Airport, with the airplane descending from 40,477
The Boeing 737-600 executed the final approach to runway 26 at RJTH Hachijojima Airport from the north-east, tracking a heading of 247.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,265 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the aircraft entered the final segment in the reported wind of 6 kt from 98 °, a 3 kt crosswind component and a 5 kt tailwind component in ambient temperature of 26 °C.
At threshold the aircraft established a good threshold height and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 131 kt. The flare was initiated in accordance with the stabilised approach parameters and the aircraft continued the descent toward the runway.
Touchdown occurred 458 m down the runway with a touchdown speed of 120 kt, noted as a little fast, and a touchdown rate of minus 217 fpm, rated fair. Runway touchdown alignment was very good, placing the aircraft well within the centreline envelope.
The total landing distance measured 934 m, representing 47 % of the 1,985 m runway, and the rollout alignment was very good, allowing a controlled deceleration to a stop.
To tighten the landing profile, reduce the threshold speed to the target value and adjust the flare to achieve a slightly lower touchdown speed, which will also help bring the descent rate closer to the ideal range. Maintaining these refinements should preserve the high overall score while improving precision.
