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.
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 3,001 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 303 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 13 at KLGA, covering 2 nm in 8 minutes.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 13 at KLGA, using 1,505 m of runway (71 % of the available length) and lifted off at 159 kt. Ambient temperature was 23 °C with a wind of 25 kt from 30°, including a 25 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt tailwind.
Climb began over the FLU (Flushing) VOR, ascending from 1,059 ft MSL to 30,750 ft MSL, a gain of 29,691 ft achieved in 15 minutes while covering 97 nm.
The first cruise segment started 1 mile southwest of Beckett, New Jersey, and was sustained for 216 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 1,477 nm.
Descent commenced 2 miles northwest of MXBD El Centenario Airstrip, descending from 30,948 ft MSL to 15,905 ft MSL, a loss of 15,042 ft in 9 minutes while covering 52 nm.
A brief cruise followed 17 miles north of Higueras, lasting 2 minutes and covering 9 nm.
The final descent began 12 miles northeast of Higueras, dropping from 15,596 ft MSL to 2,524 ft MSL, a reduction of 13,072 ft over 11 minutes and spanning 49 nm.
The aircraft entered final approach to runway 29 at MMMY Monterrey International Airport, descending from 1,305 ft AGL to 38 ft AGL in 95 seconds and meeting the stabilisation gate criteria.
Touchdown occurred on runway 29, whose length is 3,001 m; the threshold speed was 130 kt, touchdown distance was 300 m, and touchdown speed was 128 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 543 fpm. Weather at the airport was 27 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 79°, a 6 kt crosswind and a 7 kt tailwind.
The total landing roll measured 1,126 m, representing 38 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was reported as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 nm, a movement that took 7 minutes.
Overall, the flight covered 1,691 nm, required 265 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 9,042 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320ceo executed a stabilised approach at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and received a stabilisation-gate score. The final approach to runway 29 at MMMY Monterrey International Airport descended from 1,305 ft agl to 38 ft agl in 95 seconds.
At the threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 130 kt. The flare proceeded from the established height without noted deviation.
Touchdown occurred 300 m down the runway, a distance described as good, with a touchdown speed of 128 kt that was a little fast. The vertical rate at touchdown was very hard at minus 543 fpm, while runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,126 m, representing 38 % of the 3,001 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good. Local conditions were 27 °C, wind 9 kt at 79°, crosswind 6 kt and tailwind 7 kt. The overall landing score was 91.7 %.
To refine the already strong performance, reduce the touchdown speed slightly toward the target 130 kt to lessen the hard vertical rate, and adjust flare timing to achieve a smoother touchdown while maintaining the very good alignment.
