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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,981 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 358 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 24 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport in Prague, a movement that lasted 7 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,831 m, representing 49 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 155 kt. Ambient conditions were 17 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 100°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt tail-wind component.
The climb commenced overhead Dobroviz, climbing from 1,557 ft asl to 22,007 ft asl, an altitude gain of 20,451 ft achieved in 9 minutes while covering 54 nm.
Cruise level began approximately 1 mile north of Dolany, lasting 2 minutes and extending over 13 nm.
Descent started 2 miles south of Chudenin, descending from 22,006 ft asl to 2,775 ft asl, a loss of 19,232 ft in 15 minutes and spanning 76 nm.
The first final approach to runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 264.0° at 4 nm and 1,289 ft agl.
A go-around was executed on runway 26R at an altitude of 100 ft agl, after which the aircraft re-entered the approach sequence.
On the second final approach, the aircraft descended from 1,322 ft agl to 71 ft agl in 98 seconds and met the stabilisation gate criteria.
Touchdown occurred on runway 26R, whose length is 3,981 m; the threshold speed was 137 kt. The aircraft contacted the runway 106 m beyond the touchdown zone at 132 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 285 fpm and a lateral deviation of 5.6 m from the centreline. Local weather reported 14 °C, wind 2 kt from 0°, a 2 kt cross-wind and no head-wind component.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,443 m, equivalent to 36 % of the runway, and the alignment during rollout was described as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 5 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 227 nm, required 59 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 2,444 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 264.0° at 4 nm and 1,289 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. Weather was 14 °C with wind 2 kt from 0°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.
During the descent the aircraft reduced altitude from 1,322 ft agl to 71 ft agl in 98 seconds, and the threshold height was reported as good. Threshold speed was good at 137 kt and the flare produced a touchdown point 106 m beyond the touchdown zone. Touchdown speed was 132 kt, noted as a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at minus 285 fpm; the aircraft touched down slightly misaligned by 5.6 m from the centreline.
Touchdown occurred with the noted speed and rate, and the slight 5.6 m centreline deviation was recorded. The aircraft’s position relative to the runway centreline remained within acceptable limits for the phase.
Rollout was very good in alignment, and the total landing distance was 1,443 m, representing 36 % of the 3,981 m runway length. The aircraft decelerated safely and remained on the centreline throughout the rollout.
The touchdown speed should be reduced toward the target VREF to eliminate the “little fast” condition, and the touchdown point should be aimed to fall within the designated zone to avoid the 106 m overshoot. Maintaining precise centreline alignment will keep the rollout performance at the very good level already demonstrated.
