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 six 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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,083 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 621 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport (KMKC) in Kansas City, Missouri, took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 19, utilizing 1,637 feet, or 26% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 134 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 75°F and a wind of 22 knots from 190°, resulting in a 22-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from KMKC, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 27,723 feet above sea level in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles. The climb phase was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with a total ascent of 26,222 feet. Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 9 minutes and covering 72 nautical miles, before beginning its descent towards the Colonel James Jabara Airport (KAAO). The descent phase was initiated overhead the Harold K. Wells Airport (SN37) in Elmdale, Kansas, and involved a decrease in altitude of 24,411 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at KAAO was initiated from the north, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 189.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,008 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on a runway length of 6,077 feet, with a threshold speed of 115 knots and a touchdown distance of 615 feet. Although the touchdown speed of 112 knots was slightly above the optimal value, the runway touchdown position was only 14 feet off-centerline. The total landing distance was 1,921 feet, or 32% of the runway length, with a very good runway rollout alignment. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 177 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 41 minutes and a fuel consumption of 3 pounds.
The aircraft, C750, successfully executed a final approach to runway 18 at KAAO Colonel James Jabara Airport from the north, aligning with the heading of 189.0° at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 1,008 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 115 kt, within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the optimal value at 112 kt, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -562 fpm. The touchdown distance of 615 ft was within the acceptable range, but the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 ft from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 68 °F and a headwind of 12 kt, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,921 ft, accounting for 32% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's proficiency in controlling the aircraft during the critical phases of landing. Overall, the landing performance of C750 scored 95.7%, reflecting a high level of skill and adherence to standard operating procedures.
