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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,710 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 252 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320neo taxied from the parking area to runway 24 at LEIB Ibiza Airport, a movement that lasted 6 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,402 m, representing 50 % of the runway, and lifted off at 152 kt. Local weather at the time was 32 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 210°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile south-west of LEIB, with the airplane climbing from 981 ft asl to 37,000 ft asl, an increase of 36,019 ft achieved in 20 minutes while covering 126 nm.
Level cruise began 2 miles south of Tuejar and continued for 45 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 300 nm at cruise altitude.
Descent started 4 miles west of Arronches, descending from 36,501 ft asl to 1,638 ft asl, a loss of 34,862 ft in 23 minutes and covering 114 nm.
The final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport was executed from the south, on a heading of 23.0° at 4 nm and 1,281 ft agl.
Landing on runway 02 was performed on a runway 3,710 m long; the threshold speed was 138 kt, touchdown occurred 251 m down the runway at 135 kt, and the aircraft settled at a descent rate of minus 186 fpm with very good alignment. Local weather at the airport was 23 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 310°, a cross-wind component of 5 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 970 m, equivalent to 26 % of the runway, and the alignment during rollout was perfect.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 548 nm, required 99 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 3,203 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320neo completed the final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport from the south, tracking a heading of 23.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,281 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, and the local weather was 23 °C with wind 5 kt at 310 °, including a 5 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 138 kt. The aircraft maintained the appropriate configuration and height for a smooth flare.
Touchdown occurred with a distance of 251 m, a speed of 135 kt that was good, and a rate of descent that was good at minus 186 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 970 m, representing 26 % of the 3,710 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 99.6 % the landing was excellent; minor refinements should focus on preserving the consistent touchdown point near 250 m and maintaining the touchdown speed around 135 kt to keep performance at this high level.
