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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,654 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 192 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 31R at LFML Marseille Provence Airport in 8 minutes, covering 2 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 31R, achieving a takeoff distance of 1,028 m (36 % of the runway) and a liftoff speed of 182 kt. Local weather at the time reported a temperature of 25 °C, wind 23 kt from 320°, with a 2 kt crosswind component and a 23 kt headwind.
Climb began overhead LFML Marseille Provence Airport, ascending from 1,013 ft asl to 32,006 ft asl - an increase of 30,993 ft - over 20 minutes while covering 142 nm.
The first level-cruise segment started 1 mile south of Stellanello, Liguria, Italy, lasting 7 minutes and encompassing 55 nm.
Descent commenced 2 miles south of Torriglia, Liguria, Italy, descending from 32,006 ft asl to 9,009 ft asl - a decrease of 22,997 ft - in 12 minutes and covering 73 nm.
A second cruise phase over Quinzano d'Oglio, Lombardia, Italy, lasted 3 minutes and spanned 14 nm.
The next descent segment over Borgosatollo, Lombardia, Italy, reduced altitude from 9,007 ft asl to 6,217 ft asl - a loss of 2,791 ft - in 6 minutes, covering 27 nm.
A brief cruise over Lurano, Lombardia, Italy, continued for 2 minutes and covered 6 nm.
Descent resumed over Capriate San Gervasio, Lombardia, Italy, dropping from 6,007 ft asl to 2,290 ft asl - a decrease of 3,717 ft - in 4 minutes and covering 16 nm.
The final approach to runway 10 at LIME Milan Bergamo Airport / Antonio Locatelli Air Base was executed from the west on a heading of 105.0°, at 4 nm and 1,488 ft agl. Weather at the airport indicated a temperature of 22 °C, wind 6 kt from 124°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 5 kt headwind.
Landing on runway 10, which is 2,654 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 140 kt. Touchdown occurred 191 m down the runway at a speed of 140 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 747 fpm and perfect alignment. The total landing distance recorded was 1,127 m (42 % of the runway).
During rollout the aircraft’s centreline alignment was measured at a deviation of 10.1 m from the centreline.
In total the flight covered 340nm, required 62 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 2,776 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320-ceo entered the final approach to runway 10 at LIME Milan Bergamo Airport from the west on a heading of 105.0° at 4 NM and 1,488 ft agl. Local conditions were 22 °C with a wind from 124° at 6 kt, including a 5 kt headwind and 2 kt crosswind. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable because the sink rate was too high.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and the threshold speed was good at 140 kt.
Touchdown occurred 191 m down the runway, a distance rated as good, with a touchdown speed of 140 kt described as a little fast. The touchdown rate was very heavy at minus 747 fpm, while runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,127 m, representing 42 % of the 2,654 m runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.1 m from the centreline.
To improve the score, concentrate on achieving a stabilized approach sink rate and a smoother flare to reduce the heavy touchdown rate, and refine directional control during rollout to eliminate the small centreline deviation.
