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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,748 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,748 m of the 4,258 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 352 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E175 taxied from the parking area to runway 34R at KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport, a movement that lasted 7 minutes and covered 2 nm.
Departure roll commenced on runway 34R, with a takeoff distance of 1,944 m (53 % of the runway) and liftoff achieved at 159 kt. Ambient conditions were 36 °C with wind 13 kt from 290°, including a cross-wind component of 11 kt and a head-wind component of 5 kt.
Climb began 1 mile north of KSLC, the aircraft ascending from 5,364 ft asl to 33,961 ft asl, a gain of 28,597 ft accomplished in 17 minutes while covering 105 nm.
The first level cruise started 4 miles southwest of Georgetown, Idaho, and persisted for 49 minutes, during which the airplane travelled 449 nm.
Descent commenced 7 miles northwest of Coalhurst, Alberta, with altitude decreasing from 33,994 ft asl to 7,838 ft asl, a loss of 26,156 ft in 14 minutes over a distance of 90 nm.
A brief level cruise followed, beginning 5 miles southeast of CEF4 Airdrie Aerodrome, lasting 9 minutes and covering less than 1 nm.
The subsequent descent started 5 miles southeast of CEF4 Airdrie Aerodrome, dropping from 7,838 ft asl to 4,852 ft asl, a reduction of 2,986 ft in 4 minutes across 10 nm.
Final approach to runway 17L at CYYC Calgary International Airport was executed from the north on a heading of 181.0°, at 4 nm and 1,281 ft agl.
The aircraft landed on runway 17L, whose length is 4,263 m; the threshold height at 57 ft agl was slightly above target and the threshold speed was well above target at 136 kt. Touchdown occurred 357 m down the runway at a speed of 134 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 532 fpm; alignment at touchdown was perfect. Local weather reported a temperature of 27 °C and wind 9 kt from 140°, with a cross-wind of 6 kt and a head-wind of 7 kt.
Total landing distance measured 1,676 m, representing 39 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the Embraer E175 taxied to the parking area, a movement that lasted 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 662 nm, took 93, and consumed 2,062 kg of fuel.
The Embraer E175 established the final approach to runway 17L at CYYC Calgary International Airport from the north on a heading of 181.0° at 4 nm and 1,281 ft agl, with local temperature 27 °C, wind 9 kt from 140°, a 6 kt cross-wind component and a 7 kt head-wind component.
At the threshold the aircraft crossed at 57 ft agl, which was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was 136 kt, well above target.
Touchdown occurred 357 m down the runway at a speed of 134 kt, which was fast, with a very hard vertical rate of minus 532 fpm, while runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance measured 1,676 m, representing 39 % of the 4,263 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Reduce the approach and touchdown speeds to bring them within target limits and moderate the vertical rate on flare to avoid a very hard touchdown; these adjustments will align the performance with the high overall score of 96.0 %.
