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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,390 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,390 m of the 4,113 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 899 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 1.89 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area to runway 16L at SPJC Jorge Chávez International Airport, a movement that required 14 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll the aircraft accelerated along runway 16L, using 1,165 m of runway (33 % of the available length) and lifted off at 146 kt. Ambient conditions were 25 °C with a wind from 180° at 8 kt, including a 4-
The Boeing 777-300ER conducted the final approach to runway 36 at SEQM Mariscal Sucre International Airport from the south, tracking a heading of 358.0° at 4 NM and 1,318 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits; ambient temperature was 20 °C with wind 6 kt from 330°, including a 3 kt crosswind component and a 5 kt headwind.
At threshold the aircraft encountered a height of 58 ft agl, which was slightly above target, while the threshold speed of 144 kt was recorded as good.
Touchdown occurred 494 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 137 kt judged good. The aircraft experienced a hard touchdown rate of minus 449 fpm and the wheel-track was slightly misaligned by 5.0 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance measured 2,320 m, representing 56 % of the 4,113 m runway, and the rollout alignment was misaligned by 15.6 m from the centreline.
To reduce the hard touchdown, a slightly higher flare height should be used to moderate the sink rate before wheel-spin. Maintaining precise centreline tracking during rollout will limit lateral deviation and improve alignment consistency.
