Reduce your height at the threshold
See Arrival Landing
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,345 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 341 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E175 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. It then departed from runway 30R at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP), with a takeoff distance of 948 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 137 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 1 °C, with a wind speed of 24 knots blowing from 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 21 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the KMSP airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,841 feet above sea level to 36,001 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,160 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 4 miles west of Miltona, Minnesota, and lasted for 7 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 169 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 5 miles east of Carrington, North Dakota, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 35,852 feet above sea level to 3,186 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,667 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at the Minot International Airport (KMOT) was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 318.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,469 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 31 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 340 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -227 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -6 °C, with a wind speed of 12 knots blowing from 0 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance was 1,393 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxiied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 388 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 41 minutes. The aircraft used 1,656 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully landed at KMOT Minot International Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.2%. The final approach to runway 31 was initiated from the south east, with a heading of 318.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,469 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 340 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly above the target, indicating that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further during the approach. The touchdown rate of -227 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was not excessively decelerating upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.4 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing roll. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -6°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 0°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 1,393 meters was 59% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing roll and bring it to a stop in a straight line.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor deviations from the target, including a slightly fast touchdown speed and a slight misalignment from the centreline.
