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 3,032 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 139 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.93 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A319 taxied from the parking area to runway 26R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, a movement that required 11 minutes and covered 5 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 26R, the aircraft used 2,289 m of runway, representing 56 % of the available length, and lifted off at 163 kt; ambient conditions were 30 °C with a wind of 11 kt from 229°, giving a 7 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead KLAS, with the airplane ascending from 3,163 ft asl to 38,844 ft asl, an increase of 35,681 ft achieved in 20 minutes while covering 111 nm.
The first cruise segment began 10 mi south-west of KBTY Beatty Airport and continued for 77 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 607 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 1 mi east of 5WA1 Dorman Field, with altitude decreasing from 37,833 ft asl to 3,953 ft asl, a loss of 33,880 ft over 23 minutes and a distance of 134 nm.
A brief cruise followed 5 mi east of 5W1 Wilson Creek, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
Subsequent descent began 5 mi south of 5W1 Wilson Creek, dropping from 3,942 ft asl to 2,365 ft asl, a reduction of 1,578 ft in 2 minutes while traveling 7 nm.
Final approach to runway 22 at KMWH Grant County International Airport reduced altitude from 1,217 ft agl to 27 ft agl in 112 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 22 was executed with a threshold speed of 130 kt; touchdown occurred 84 m beyond the touchdown zone at 128 kt, with a heavy touchdown rate of minus 881 fpm and very good runway-alignment, while local weather was 6 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 200°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind.
The rollout distance measured 810 m, representing 27 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout remained very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering the final 1 nm of ground movement.
In total, the flight covered 878 nm, required 138 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 4,407 kg of fuel.
