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 rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 06R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport in 11 minutes, covering 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 06R, accelerating over a takeoff distance of 4,717 ft, which represented 53 % of the runway. Liftoff occurred at 154 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 38 °F, wind 8 kt from 279 °, a crosswind component of 5 kt and a tailwind component of 7 kt.
Climb began approximately 1 mile east of LEBL, with the airplane climbing from 950 ft asl to 35,521 ft asl, an increase of 34,571 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 140 nm.
The first level cruise was established overhead Montesquieu-Avantes in Occitanie, France, lasting 95 minutes and encompassing 694 nm.
Descent commenced 2 miles north of Austwick, North Yorkshire, England, descending from 35,393 ft asl to 20,017 ft asl, a loss of 15,376 ft completed in 7 minutes over 46 nm.
A brief level segment followed over Scotby, Cumbria, England, lasting 2 minutes and covering 9 nm.
The next descent began 1 mile north-west of Longtown, Cumbria, England, dropping from 19,979 ft asl to 1,518 ft asl, a decrease of 18,461 ft in 19 minutes across 74 nm.
Final approach to runway 21 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was flown from the north-east, on a heading of 204.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,449 ft agl.
The aircraft landed on runway 21, whose length is 6,237 ft. The threshold speed was 137 kt. Touchdown occurred 527 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 123 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 337 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Local weather at the time was 34 °F, wind 9 kt from 280 °, a crosswind of 8 kt and a headwind component of 2 kt.
Total landing distance measured 3,925 ft, representing 63 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment remained perfect.
After landing, the Boeing 737-800 taxied from the runway to the parking area in 9 minutes, covering 2 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 973 nm, required 165 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 14,205 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 conducted the final approach to runway 21 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport from the north east, on a heading of 204.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,449 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Local weather was temperature 34 °F, wind 9 kt at 280 °, crosswind 8 kt and headwind 2 kt.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 137 kt.
Touchdown occurred 527 ft beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 123 kt that was good and a touchdown rate that was firm at minus 337 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 3,925 ft, representing 63 % of the 6,237 ft runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
To tighten the touchdown point toward the designated zone and to soften the firm rate, a slightly earlier flare should be practiced while maintaining the current speed management. The overall score of 96.9 % indicates the performance was strong, requiring only these minor refinements.
