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 seven checks, where the approach path is 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 1,692 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,692 m of the 2,694 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 536 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A flight departed from Vienna International Airport (LOWW) in Austria, taking off from runway 29 with a takeoff distance of 1,552 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 160 knots, with a local temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind of 13 knots at 330 degrees. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Vienna, it reached an altitude of 30,009 feet above sea level in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles. The climb was initiated 1 mile west of the airport, and the aircraft leveled off at an altitude of 30,009 feet over the town of Walding in Austria. The cruise phase lasted for 9 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 62 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 30,009 feet to 11,097 feet in 9 minutes, covering 54 nautical miles. This descent phase was initiated 2 miles south east of Mamming in Bavaria, Germany.
The aircraft continued its descent, leveling off at an altitude of 10,492 feet over Berching in Bavaria, before beginning another descent phase from 10,492 feet to 4,044 feet in 8 minutes, covering 38 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off at an altitude of 3,958 feet over Offenhausen, before beginning its final descent phase from 3,958 feet to 2,315 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 28 at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN), touching down 124 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 131 knots. The total landing distance was 1,615 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, using a total of 2,933 kilograms of fuel and covering a distance of 278 nautical miles in 61 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 28 at EDDN Nuremberg Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 139 kt. The approach quality was otherwise good, with a steady descent from 1,276 ft agl at 4 nm from the runway. The aircraft maintained a heading of 279.0° throughout the approach.
The touchdown point was 124 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The touchdown speed of 131 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -273 fpm was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 21 °C and a gentle wind of 3 kt at 70°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the tailwind component was 3 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,615 m was 60% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 98.6%. The slight over-run and fast touchdown speed were the only notable deviations from the ideal landing profile.
