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 1,547 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,547 m of the 2,709 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 586 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23, the aircraft used 1,457 m of runway, representing 47 % of the available length, and lifted off at 157 kt. Ambient conditions were 17 °C with a 9 kt wind from 230°, providing a 9 kt headwind and no cross-wind component.
The initial climb began 1 mile north-west of Winterhude, ascending from 1,024 ft asl to 27,009 ft asl, a gain of 25,984 ft achieved in 13 minutes while covering 72 nm.
A level cruise segment commenced overhead Hattstedt and lasted 2 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 11 nm.
A second climb started 1 mile west of Stedesand, raising the aircraft from 27,009 ft asl to 31,877 ft asl, an increase of 4,868 ft in 5 minutes over a distance of 37 nm.
The next cruise phase began 2 miles south-east of EK04 Sønderho, lasting 34 minutes and covering 243 nm.
Descent operations were initiated 3 miles east of Judaberg, with the aircraft descending from 31,993 ft asl to 1,470 ft asl, a loss of 30,523 ft in 19 minutes while traversing 100 nm.
On final approach to runway 17 at ENBR Bergen Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,375 ft agl to 83 ft agl in 105 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 17 was performed with a threshold speed of 142 kt, slightly above target, and the aircraft touched down 182 m beyond the touchdown zone at 132 kt. The touchdown rate was minus 371 fpm, and runway alignment was perfect; local weather reported 12 °C, a 14 kt wind from 200° with a 7 kt cross-wind and a 13 kt headwind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,478 m, equivalent to 55 % of the runway, and alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 470 nm, lasted 84 minutes, and consumed 3,602 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 17 at ENBR Bergen Airport was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,375 ft AGL to 83 ft AGL in 105 seconds on a runway 2,709 m long. Local weather reported a temperature of 12 °C, wind 14 kt from 200°, a 7 kt cross-wind component and a 13 kt head-wind component.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold speed was slightly above target at 142 kt and the touchdown point was 182 m beyond the touchdown zone. Touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 kt and the touchdown rate was firm at minus 371 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Touchdown occurred with the aircraft aligned precisely on the centreline, confirming the perfect runway touchdown alignment noted in the previous phase.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 1,478 m, representing 55 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment remained perfect.
To bring the landing closer to the target, reduce the threshold speed to the prescribed value and moderate the touchdown speed slightly below 132 kt, which will also help soften the firm touchdown rate. Maintaining the current alignment and approach stability will preserve the high overall score.
