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 2,915 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 363 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 24L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, a movement that lasted 8 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24L, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 2,808 m, representing 70 % of the runway, and lifted off at 147 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 18 °C, wind 5 kt from 229°, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced 2 mi south-west of EDDB, with the airplane ascending from 1,105 ft asl to 32,756 ft asl, an increase of 31,650 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 115 nm.
The first cruise segment began overhead Neustadt an der Orla (Thuringia, Germany) and continued for 45 minutes, during which 336 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent started overhead Pantigliate (Lombardia, Italy), with the aircraft descending from 33,009 ft asl to 5,995 ft asl, a loss of 27,015 ft in 17 minutes while covering 98 nm.
A brief cruise followed overhead Sestri Levante (Liguria, Italy), lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
The next descent began 1 mi south-east of Portofino (Liguria, Italy), dropping from 6,007 ft asl to 5,010 ft asl, a decrease of 998 ft in 2 minutes over 5 nm.
Subsequent level cruise was established 4 mi south-west of Camogli (Liguria, Italy), lasting 7 minutes and encompassing 21 nm.
A further descent commenced 4 mi south-east of Celle Ligure (Liguria, Italy), with altitude falling from 5,008 ft asl to 324 ft asl, a reduction of 4,685 ft in 5 minutes while covering 14 nm.
Final approach to runway 10 at LIMJ Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport was executed from the west, on a heading of 105.0°, at 1 nm and 301 ft agl.
Landing on runway 10, whose length is 2,915 m, occurred with a threshold speed slightly above target at 140 kt. Touchdown was recorded at 364 m down the runway, with a speed of 133 kt and a firm touchdown rate of minus 358 fpm; runway-touchdown alignment was very good. Local weather at the time was a temperature of 27 °C, wind 6 kt from 130°, with a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,352 m, representing 46 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 599 nm, required 108 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 4,802 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 10 at LIMJ Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport was flown from the west on a heading of 105.0 ° at 1 nm and 301 ft agl, with temperature 27 °C, wind 6 kt from 130 °, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 140 kt.
Touchdown occurred 364 m down the runway, with a touchdown speed of 133 kt that was a little fast and a firm touchdown rate of minus 358 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1 352 m, representing 46 % of the 2 915 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
To tighten the remaining margins, reduce the approach speed to meet the target threshold speed and manage the flare to achieve a slightly lower touchdown speed, which will also lessen the firm rate. Maintaining these adjustments should preserve the high overall score of 96.7 %.
