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 six 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 2,624 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 448 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 18 at LYPG Podgorica Airport, a movement that lasted 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 18 the aircraft used 1,093 m, representing 44 % of the runway, and lifted off at 140 kt. Ambient temperature was 36 °C with wind from 129° at 5 kt, including a 4 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
Enroute climb began 1 mile east of Mojanovici, climbing from 1,054 ft asl to 39,760 ft asl, an increase of 38,706 ft achieved in 43 minutes while covering 306 nm.
Level cruise started 2 miles east of Tor Tre Teste in Lazio, Italy and continued for 123 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 1,374 nm.
Descent commenced 105 miles north-east of LPPS Porto Santo Airport, descending from 40,000 ft asl to 372 ft asl, a loss of 39,628 ft in 16 minutes over 147 nm.
Final approach to runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport was made from the south-west on a heading of 45.0° at 1 nm and 193 ft agl.
The aircraft landed on runway 05, whose length is 2,631 m. Threshold speed was 138 kt; touchdown occurred at 125 kt with a rate of minus 230 fpm. Touchdown distance was 454 m and the touchdown point was 4.9 m off centreline. Local weather reported temperature 23 °C, wind 5 kt from 20°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 5 kt headwind. Total landing distance was 930 m, representing 35 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,831 nm, took 187 minutes, and consumed 10,971 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 conducted the final approach to runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo from the south west, maintaining a heading of 45.0 ° at 1 nm and 193 ft agl while the local temperature was 23 °C, wind 5 kt at 20 °, crosswind 2 kt and headwind 5 kt.
The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was well above target at 138 kt.
Touchdown distance was good at 454 m, touchdown speed at 125 kt was a little fast, touchdown rate was fair at minus 230 fpm and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 m from centreline.
Total landing distance was 930 m, 35 % of the 2,631 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
To tighten the landing profile, reduce the threshold speed toward the target and manage the approach to achieve a touchdown speed closer to the optimum. Adjusting these speeds will further improve alignment and rate consistency.
