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 2,028 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,028 m of the 2,865 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 565 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Menorca Airport (LEMH), the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 01, utilizing 66% of the available runway length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 155 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 32 °C, with a gentle 6-knot wind blowing from a direction of 100 °.
As the aircraft climbed away from Menorca, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Mao, Spain, rising from an initial altitude of 1,238 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 35,987 feet in a mere 19 minutes, covering a distance of 126 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft eventually reaching its enroute level cruise phase 68 miles east of Begur, Spain. This phase of the flight lasted for 85 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 649 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it initiated its enroute descent 1 mile east of Tewin, England, gradually losing altitude over the next 20 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23R at Manchester Airport (EGCC) was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft descending from a cruising altitude of 35,712 feet to a touchdown altitude of 1,461 feet in a mere 5 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The landing was characterized by a smooth touchdown rate of -106 feet per minute, with the aircraft touching down 155 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The total landing distance was 1,953 meters, representing 68% of the available runway length. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 929 nautical miles, with the aircraft consuming 5,606 kilograms of fuel over the course of the 146-minute flight.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 23R at EGCC Manchester Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -106 fpm, slightly above the target speed of 138 kt. The aircraft's touchdown point was 155 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. The threshold speed was also slightly above target at 144 kt, but the overall approach quality was good, considering the local weather conditions.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft tracking the centerline without any deviations. The total landing distance of 1,953 meters was 68% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled stop. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 26 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
Overall, the landing was scored 98.7%, reflecting the minor deviations from the target touchdown speed and point. However, the smooth touchdown rate and perfect runway rollout alignment were notable positives. The pilot's ability to maintain control and track the centerline throughout the approach and rollout phases was commendable, despite the slight overruns.
