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 2,369 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,369 m of the 3,194 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 894 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Eindhoven Airport (EHEH), the Boeing 737-800 began its journey on runway 21, taking off with a distance of 1,450 meters, which accounted for 58% of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 163 knots, overcoming a headwind of 6 knots and a crosswind of 4 knots. The local temperature was 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind direction of 250 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it passed over Oerle, a town in the Netherlands, and continued to ascend to 34,629 feet above sea level. The enroute climb phase was completed in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 122 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 36 minutes and covered 284 nautical miles. This was followed by a second climb phase, which saw the aircraft ascend to 36,994 feet in just 3 minutes. The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 159 minutes and covering 1,297 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, passing over the Canary Islands and eventually entering the final approach phase to runway 25 at Tenerife Sur Airport (GCTS).
The final approach was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 249.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,375 feet above ground level. The landing was completed on runway 25, which had a length of 3,194 meters. The touchdown point was 481 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 144 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -341 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 17.0 meters. The total landing distance was 2,291 meters, accounting for 72% of the available runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, completing its journey of 1,923 nautical miles in 262 minutes, with a total fuel consumption of 10,082 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 25 at GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport, with a threshold height of 76 ft agl, significantly above the target of 50 ft. The aircraft's speed at touchdown was 144 kt, slightly above the target of 135 kt, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -341 fpm. The touchdown point was located 481 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run.
The approach quality was satisfactory, with a heading of 249.0° at 4 nm and 1,375 ft agl, aligning with the runway. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.1 m from the centreline, and the rollout alignment was also off by 17.0 m. The threshold speed of 150 kt was slightly above the target, but the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a wind of 9 kt at 210°, were relatively calm.
The total landing distance of 2,291 m was 72% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. The score for this landing was 79.8%, reflecting a good overall performance, but with room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
