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 2,709 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 411 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 EGPH Edinburgh Airport in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24, the aircraft used 725 m of runway, representing 31 % of the available length, and lifted off at 140 kt. Local conditions were 17 °C temperature, wind 16 kt from 260°, with a 6 kt cross-wind component and a 15 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead Ratho Station, rising from 511 ft asl to 36 704 ft asl, an altitude gain of 36 193 ft achieved in 17 minutes while traversing 102 nm.
Level cruise began over Kintore in Aberdeenshire and continued for 27 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 224 nm.
Descent was initiated 64 miles west of Langevåg, Vestland, Norway, descending from 37 026 ft asl to 1 489 ft asl, a loss of 35 537 ft in 16 minutes and spanning 86 nm.
The final approach to runway 17 at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland, was flown from the north on a heading of 170.0°, entering the approach at 4 nm and 1 326 ft agl. The aircraft then descended from 1 381 ft agl to 82 ft agl in 124 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 17 was executed with a threshold speed slightly above target at 124 kt. Touchdown occurred 412 m down the runway at 120 kt, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 436 fpm. The runway length is 2 709 m; the aircraft’s alignment on touchdown was very good.
Rollout distance totaled 1 180 m, representing 44 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout remained very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 422 nm, taking 69 minutes and consuming 2 751 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320ceo approached runway 17 at ENBR Bergen from the north on a heading of 170.0° at 4 nm and 1,326 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. Descent continued from 1,381 ft agl to 82 ft agl in 124 seconds.
At threshold the speed was slightly above target at 124 kt and the threshold height was good, indicating an appropriate flare initiation.
Touchdown occurred 412 m down the runway at a speed of 120 kt, which was a little fast, and the vertical rate was hard at minus 436 fpm. Runway-touchdown alignment was very good.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,180 m, representing 44 % of the 2,709 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Reduce touchdown speed to the target value and refine flare timing to achieve a softer vertical rate; these adjustments will improve the landing score while preserving the already strong alignment performance.
