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 2,683 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 375 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A220-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 25R at Brussels Airport, a movement that required 8 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 25R the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,127 m, representing 34 % of the runway, and achieved liftoff at 151 kt. Local weather conditions were temperature 17 °C, wind 7 kt from 220°, with a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind.
The first en-route climb began overhead Machelen, climbing from 1,127 ft asl to 13,952 ft asl, an increase of 12,825 ft achieved in 6 minutes while covering 23 nm.
A level cruise segment commenced 2 mi south-west of Enghien, lasting 2 minutes and extending over 8 nm.
The second climb segment started over Brugelette, raising the aircraft from 13,979 ft asl to 28,950 ft asl, an increase of 14,971 ft in 8 minutes and covering 50 nm.
A subsequent cruise phase began 1 mi west of Itancourt, persisting for 25 minutes and spanning 172 nm.
Descent began 2 mi north-west of Bona, with the aircraft descending from 28,946 ft asl to 18,954 ft asl, a loss of 9,992 ft in 7 minutes while traveling 43 nm.
A short cruise followed 1 mi south-west of Monetay-sur-Loire, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nm.
The next descent segment started overhead Ceron, dropping from 18,442 ft asl to 5,022 ft asl, a decrease of 13,420 ft in 10 minutes and covering 51 nm.
A further cruise leg began over Irigny, lasting 3 minutes and encompassing 14 nm.
Descent continued overhead Beauvoir-de-Marc, falling from 5,317 ft asl to 2,244 ft asl, a loss of 3,073 ft in 3 minutes over 8 nm.
On final approach to runway 35R at Lyon-Saint-Exupéry Airport the aircraft descended from 1,501 ft agl to 76 ft agl in 112 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 35R, which is 2,683 m long, the aircraft touched down at a threshold speed of 122 kt (slightly below target). Touchdown distance was 374 m, touchdown speed 118 kt, and touchdown rate minus 358 fpm, with perfect runway-touchdown alignment. Local weather at the time was temperature 18 °C, wind 2 kt from 0°, cross-wind 0 kt and head-wind 2 kt. The total landing distance recorded was 907 m, representing 34 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was assessed as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 389 nm, took 81 minutes, and consumed 2,528 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A220-300 executed a stabilised approach at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The final approach to runway 35R at LFLL Lyon Saint-Exupéry descended from 1,501 ft agl to 76 ft agl in 112 seconds and earned full marks on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the height was good and the speed was slightly below target at 122 kt. The aircraft crossed the threshold and the touchdown point was recorded at 374 m, indicating an appropriate flare and aim point placement.
Touchdown occurred at 118 kt, a speed rated as good, with a firm vertical rate of minus 358 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Rollout covered a total distance of 907 m, representing 34 % of the 2,683 m runway, and the alignment during rollout was very good.
With a score of 91.8 % the landing was solid; refining speed control to match the target threshold speed and moderating the flare to lessen the firm touchdown rate will tighten the remaining margins.
