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. 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 3,446 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 376 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 23 at WIMM Kualanamu International Airport, a movement that required 4 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 141 kt. Takeoff distance measured 2,009 m, representing 54 % of the runway length. Local weather at the time was 32 °C with wind calm at 0 kt from 304°, resulting in zero cross-wind and head-wind components.
Enroute climb commenced 2 mi south-west of WIMM, climbing from 1,073 ft asl to 40,612 ft asl, an increase of 39,538 ft achieved in 40 minutes while covering 292 nm.
The first level-cruise segment began 4 mi west of Padang and persisted for 267 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 1,977 nm.
Descent phase one started 1 mi north-west of Carnamah, descending from 41,002 ft asl to 39,919 ft asl, a loss of 1,082 ft in 3 minutes over a distance of 21 nm.
A second cruise leg originated 28 mi north of Moora and lasted 10 minutes, covering 69 nm.
Descent phase two was initiated overhead YMBE Mooliabeenie, with the aircraft descending from 39,590 ft asl to 1,339 ft asl, a reduction of 38,251 ft in 11 minutes and traversing 62 nm.
Final approach to runway 03 at YPPH Perth International Airport was conducted from the south, on a heading of 14.0° at 4 nm and 1,269 ft agl. The approach continued with a descent from 1,317 ft agl to 62 ft agl in 104 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 03, whose length is 3,446 m, was completed with a threshold speed of 126 kt. Touchdown occurred 376 m down the runway at 118 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 206 fpm and perfect runway-centerline alignment. Local weather reported 30 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 60°, giving a 3 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind component. Total landing distance was 1,000 m, representing 29 % of the runway.
The aircraft rolled out along the runway with perfect alignment.
Taxi-in to the parking area required 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 2,431 nm, lasted 339 minutes, and consumed 13,213 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 approached runway 03 at YPPH from the south on a heading of 14.0° at 4 nm and 1,269 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and the aircraft descended from 1,317 ft agl to 62 ft agl in 104 seconds.
At the threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 126 kt.
Touchdown occurred 376 m down the runway at a speed of 118 kt, which was judged good, with a touchdown rate of -206 fpm rated fair and runway touchdown alignment perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,000 m, representing 29 % of the 3,446 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
Refine the flare to achieve a gentler sink rate and reduce the -206 fpm touchdown rate, which will further improve the overall score while maintaining the already excellent alignment and speed control.
