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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.

The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, a movement that lasted 12 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24R, the aircraft accelerated over a distance of 3,131 ft (27 % of the runway) and lifted off at 145 kt. Ambient conditions were temperature 75 °F with wind 8 kt from 280°, including a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 7 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead LEBL, climbing from 1,005 ft asl to 37,592 ft asl, a gain of 36,587 ft in 21 minutes while covering 152 nm.
Level cruise began 73 miles east of Cadaques and continued for 72 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 569 nm.
Descent started 1 mile north-east of Grattersdorf, descending from 37,999 ft asl to 2,409 ft asl, a loss of 35,590 ft in 20 minutes and covering 116 nm.
The final approach to runway 24 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague was established from the north-east on a heading of 245.0°, at 4 nm and 1,212 ft agl.
Landing was executed on runway 24, which is 12,152 ft long; the threshold speed was 132 kt. Touchdown occurred 1,285 ft down the runway at 127 kt with a vertical speed of minus 196 fpm, and the touchdown point was offset 12 ft from the centreline. Weather at the time was temperature 69 °F with wind 8 kt from 279°, comprising a 5 kt cross-wind and a 7 kt head-wind.
The total landing roll measured 4,020 ft, representing 33 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was reported as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 846 nm in 129 minutes and consumed 11,564 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 approached runway 24 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague from the north-east on a heading of 245.0° at 4 nm and 1,212 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the aircraft maintained the prescribed flight path in the reported 8 kt wind from 279° (5 kt crosswind, 7 kt headwind) and 69 °F temperature.
At threshold the aircraft encountered a good threshold height and established a threshold speed of 132 kt. The flare was executed with a touchdown distance of 1,285 ft, a touchdown speed of 127 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 196 fpm, all judged good. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned, being 12 ft off the centreline.
The touchdown itself occurred within the expected parameters, confirming the good speed and rate values and the short touchdown distance. The slight 12-ft lateral offset was the only noted deviation from the ideal centreline position.
Rollout used 4,020 ft of runway, representing 33 % of the available 12,152 ft, and the alignment during rollout was very good.
Maintain precise centreline tracking through the flare to eliminate the 12-ft offset observed; a tighter alignment will keep the touchdown point directly on the centreline while preserving the excellent overall performance reflected by the 98.5 % score.
