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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,564 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 880 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area to runway 14R at SKBO El Dorado International Airport in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 14R, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 2,684 m, representing 71 % of the runway, and lifted off at 171 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 7 kt from 86°, including a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile southeast of SKBO, with the airplane climbing from 9,269 ft asl to 36,012 ft asl - an altitude gain of 26,744 ft - in 14 minutes while covering 95 nm.
The first level cruise began 4 miles southeast of Salamina (Departamento de Caldas, Colombia) and persisted for 143 minutes, during which 1,189 nm were flown.
Descent started 64 miles west of MYAB Clarence A. Bain Airport, reducing altitude from 36,004 ft asl to 15,010 ft asl - a loss of 20,994 ft - in 13 minutes and spanning 97 nm.
A brief cruise segment followed 26 miles southeast of Key Biscayne, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nm.
The next descent began 19 miles east of 07FA Ocean Reef Club Airport, descending from 14,970 ft asl to 5,005 ft asl - a decrease of 9,965 ft - in 8 minutes over 47 nm.
A short cruise then occurred 6 miles southeast of North Key Largo, lasting 8 minutes and encompassing 34 nm.
Subsequent descent started 6 miles west of The Hammocks, dropping from 5,002 ft asl to 1,218 ft asl - a loss of 3,784 ft - in 4 minutes while traveling 14 nm.
Final approach to runway 09 at KMIA Miami International Airport was executed from the west, on a heading of 87.0°, at 4 nm and 1,201 ft agl.
A go-around was initiated on runway 09 at KMIA when the aircraft reached 0 ft agl, causing the flight to abort the approach and climb again before a subsequent landing attempt.
Landing on runway 09 at KMIA was completed with a runway length of 3,564 m; the threshold speed was 146 kt. Touchdown occurred 784 m beyond the touchdown zone at 136 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 395 fpm and a lateral deviation of 16.2 m from the centreline. Total landing distance measured 1,568 m, representing 44 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. Weather at the time was 29 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 82°, a 0 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 11 minutes, covering 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,499 nm, required 221 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 25,222 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300ER performed the final approach to runway 09 at KMIA from the west, tracking a heading of 87.0° at 4 nm and 1,201 ft AGL.
The aircraft displayed a good threshold height and achieved the required threshold speed of 146 kt.
Touchdown occurred 784 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 136 kt that was judged good; the vertical rate was firm at minus 395 fpm. The touchdown point was significantly misaligned by 16.2 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 1,568 m, representing 44 % of the runway. Local weather was 29 °C with wind 3 kt from 82°, a crosswind component of 0 kt and a headwind component of 3 kt.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 86.9 %, the landing was solid overall; concentrating on reducing the touchdown point distance and improving centreline alignment will bring the performance closer to the ideal aim point and further enhance the score.
