Fly the flare through
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 at 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 2,496 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 368 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 21 at Eindhoven Airport (EHEH). The takeoff distance was 1,351 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Oerle in the Netherlands. The climb took 18 minutes and covered 121 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 984 feet above sea level to 36,879 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,895 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles south-east of Dissen in Germany. This cruise phase lasted 38 minutes and covered 298 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles west of Opalenica in Poland. The descent took 16 minutes and covered 100 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 36,543 feet above sea level to 14,784 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,758 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile north of Dabrowice in Poland. This cruise phase lasted only 3 minutes and covered 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Szczawin Koscielny in Poland. The descent took 8 minutes and covered 34 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 13,557 feet above sea level to 1,738 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,819 feet.
The final approach to runway 08 at Modlin Airport (EPMO) was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 81.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,383 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 08, which had a length of 2,496 meters. The threshold height at 59 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was well above the target at 148 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 371 meters, with the touchdown speed at 147 knots being slightly fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -592 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 160 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,411 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 580 nautical miles, taking 95 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,613 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EPMO Modlin Airport, with a final approach from the west at a heading of 81.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,383 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed on runway 08, which has a length of 2,496 meters.
The threshold height at 59 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than intended when reaching the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 148 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was descending at a faster rate than expected. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 371 meters, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and land smoothly.
The touchdown speed of 147 knots was slightly faster than the target, which may have contributed to the very hard touchdown rate of -592 feet per minute (fpm). This high touchdown rate can be a concern, as it may put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and other components. On the other hand, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 160°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 10 knots and a headwind component of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,411 meters, which is 57% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to land smoothly and maintain control.
However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centerline, which may indicate some deviation from the intended path during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there are some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and rate.
