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.

Hold the nose until reaching 146 kt, letting speed build fully before rotating.
What happened: Rotation began at 134 kt, 12 kt before the 146 kt target. Climb speed later settled slow of target in Climb 3.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 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 2,749 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 282 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 27 at EGJB Guernsey Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 27, the aircraft used 708 m of runway, representing 48 % of the available length, and lifted off at 135 kt. Ambient conditions were 21 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 330°, a crosswind component of 1 kt and a headwind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced overhead EGJB Guernsey Airport Saint Peter Port (Forest, Guernsey), ascending from 1,208 ft asl to 40,994 ft asl - a gain of 39,786 ft - over 47 minutes while covering 367 nm.
The cruise segment began 1 mile north of Sassenay in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France, and persisted for 113 minutes, during which 939 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent was initiated 5 miles north of LDSL Vela Luka in Dubrovacko-Neretvanska Zupanija, Croatia, descending from 40,994 ft asl to 1,423 ft asl - a loss of 39,571 ft - in 18 minutes and traversing 169 nm.
Final approach to runway 17 at LATI Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa was conducted from the north on a heading of 176.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,302 ft agl.
Landing on runway 17 employed a runway length of 2,749 m; the threshold speed was 122 kt. Touchdown occurred 285 m down the runway at 119 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 242 fpm and perfect alignment. Local weather reported 37 °C, wind 5 kt from 230°, a crosswind of 4 kt and a headwind of 3 kt.
The total landing roll measured 719 m, equivalent to 26 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment remained perfect.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,481 nm, took 182 (units as reported), and consumed 8,179 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 executed the final approach to runway 17 at LATI Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa from the north, maintaining a heading of 176.0° at 4 nm and 1,302 ft agl. Local weather was warm at 37 °C with wind 5 kt from 230°, providing a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind.
Threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 122 kt, indicating the aircraft was correctly configured for the flare.
Touchdown occurred 285 m down the runway, a distance described as good, while the touchdown speed of 119 kt was noted as a little fast. The vertical touchdown rate was fair at minus 242 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Total landing distance measured 719 m, representing 26 % of the 2,749 m runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase.
To refine the already strong performance, a slight reduction in touchdown speed would bring the approach closer to the optimal target, and a smoother vertical rate could improve the fair rating of the touchdown descent.
