Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so threshold speed settles at 138 kt instead of carrying it into the flare.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 153 kt, well above the 138 kt target speed, and that excess speed was still showing at touchdown. Crossing the threshold fast usually carries straight through to a fast touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 138 kt on short final.
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 1,788 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,788 m of the 2,552 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 461 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport took 24 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The Boeing 737-800 then began its departure roll on runway 24R, utilizing 63% of the 2,189-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 152 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 28°C, with a gentle 5-knot wind blowing from 329°.
As the aircraft climbed away from Barcelona, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 962 feet above sea level to 19,007 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a 12-minute enroute level cruise, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered an additional 73 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 38 miles north of Ferreries, with the aircraft losing 17,071 feet in altitude over a distance of 69 nautical miles in 16 minutes. The final approach to runway 01 at LEMH Menorca Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 8.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,244 feet above ground level.
The Boeing 737-800 landed on runway 01 at LEMH Menorca Airport, utilizing 67% of the 2,552-meter runway. The touchdown point was 48 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 151 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -395 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.2 meters. Following a smooth runway rollout alignment, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 196 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 49 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,115 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 01 at LEMH Menorca Airport, with a threshold height of 68 ft agl, exceeding the target height. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, but the threshold speed of 153 kt was significantly above the target, indicating a potential for a hard landing. The aircraft's speed at touchdown was also fast at 151 kt, contributing to a firm touchdown rate of -395 fpm.
The touchdown point was located 48 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-shoot. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 7.2 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the aircraft's approach path angle or the pilot's decision to land slightly off-centre. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27 °C and a light wind of 4 kt at 100 °, were generally favourable for landing.
The total landing distance of 1,711 m was 67% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 86.3%. However, there is room for improvement in terms of approach speed and touchdown characteristics to achieve a more optimal landing.
