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 1,866 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,866 m of the 2,841 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 576 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Montreal International (Mirabel) Airport, the Boeing 777-300 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As it reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 29, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 163 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,176 meters accounted for 32% of the runway length, with a local temperature of 11°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Mirabel, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 33,603 feet above sea level in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase of 32,361 feet, with the aircraft maintaining a steady speed. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 105 minutes and covered a distance of 820 nautical miles. This was followed by a series of descents, with the aircraft descending from 33,998 feet to 3,237 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles. The final descent phase was a short one, with the aircraft descending from 3,003 feet to 1,629 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Memphis International Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 36L, aligning itself with the runway at a height of 1,331 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 145 knots, but the touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly above the optimal range. The touchdown point was 164 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 1,789 meters accounted for 63% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,048 nautical miles, with a total fuel consumption of 19,483 kilograms and a flight duration of 162 minutes.
The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 36L at KMEM Memphis International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, maintaining a steady heading of 359.0° from 4 nautical miles away at 1,331 feet above ground level. The aircraft's descent was well-controlled, resulting in a good threshold height. Upon reaching the runway threshold, the pilot maintained a threshold speed of 145 knots, adhering to standard operating procedures.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway surface, the touchdown point was located 164 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly above the recommended value, resulting in a touchdown rate of -289 feet per minute, which was considered fair. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating precise control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots, contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,789 meters, accounting for 63% of the runway length, was within acceptable parameters. Following touchdown, the aircraft maintained perfect runway rollout alignment, showcasing the pilot's ability to control the aircraft during the critical phases of the landing. Overall, the landing was scored at 95.3%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
