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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,409 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 344 m 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 RCFN Taitung Airport in Taiwan took approximately 5 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Boeing 737-600 then began its departure roll on runway 04, utilizing 37% of the 914-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 134 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 28°C, with a negligible wind of 1 knot from 359°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The enroute climb phase commenced overhead RCFN Taitung Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,107 feet above sea level to 38,742 feet above sea level, a vertical increase of 37,635 feet, in 37 minutes and covering a distance of 296 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 38,742 feet above sea level for 76 minutes, while covering a distance of 636 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began overhead RKSG Camp Humphreys in South Korea, with the aircraft descending from 39,001 feet above sea level to 1,146 feet above sea level, a vertical decrease of 37,855 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 145 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15R at ZKWS Wonsan Kalma International Airport was conducted from the northwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 147.0° at an altitude of 1,129 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The aircraft landed on the 2,411-meter runway, with a touchdown distance of 346 meters, slightly above the target threshold speed of 127 knots. The touchdown speed of 121 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -167 feet per minute was satisfactory. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,084 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 143 minutes and a fuel consumption of 6,380 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 15R at ZKWS Wonsan Kalma International Airport with a score of 99.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north west, heading 147.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,129 feet above ground level. The final approach was characterized by good quality, with a smooth descent and a stable flight path. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the aircraft touched down at a speed of 127 knots, slightly above the target speed.
The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a touchdown distance of 346 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 121 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively. The touchdown rate of -167 feet per minute was within acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10°C and a light wind of 3 knots at 269°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The rollout phase was also satisfactory, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 971 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered to be a good one, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
