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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,704 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 593 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport, a movement that required 10 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 26R, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,475 m, representing 37 % of the runway, and lifted off at 152 kt. Local weather at the time was 18 °C with a wind of 12 kt from 240°, providing a 5 kt crosswind component and an 11 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead Munich, rising from 1,881 ft asl to 25,928 ft asl-a gain of 24,047 ft-over 11 minutes while covering 65 nm.
The cruise segment began over Winklarn, lasting 5 minutes and traversing 35 nm at level flight.
The first en-route descent started 1 mile east of EDNM Nittenau-Bruck Airfield, descending from 25,987 ft asl to 22,488 ft asl, a loss of 3,499 ft in 2 minutes and covering 12 nm.
A subsequent descent began 1 mile north-east of Pernarec, dropping from 21,988 ft asl to 2,494 ft asl, a decrease of 19,494 ft over 15 minutes and spanning 74 nm.
Final approach to runway 24 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague was conducted from the north-east on a heading of 245.0°, entering the approach at 4 nm and 1,288 ft agl. The aircraft descended from 1,344 ft agl to 38 ft agl in 102 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 24, which is 3,704 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 139 kt, slightly above target. Touchdown was recorded 173 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 127 kt, a little fast, with a touchdown rate of minus 231 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. Local conditions were 15 °C, wind 8 kt from 250°, a 1 kt crosswind and an 8 kt headwind. The total landing distance was 1,183 m, representing 32 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 199 nm, took 49 minutes, and consumed 1,846 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320ceo entered the final approach to runway 24 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague from the north-east on a heading of 245.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,288 ft agl. The descent continued from 1,344 ft agl to 38 ft agl in 102 seconds. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold speed was slightly above target at 139 kt. The aircraft crossed the runway threshold and touched down 173 m beyond the touchdown zone. Touchdown speed was a little fast at 127 kt and the vertical rate was fair at minus 231 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect and the threshold height was good.
Touchdown occurred with the aircraft aligned precisely to the centreline, the speed and rate as noted above, and the aircraft remained on the intended flight path through the flare and initial contact.
Rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,183 m, representing 32 % of the 3,704 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather was 15 °C, wind 8 kt from 250 °, with a 1 kt crosswind component and an 8 kt headwind.
To improve the score, focus on attaining the target threshold speed and reducing the touchdown point to within the designated zone, which will also help bring touchdown speed closer to the optimum value. Adjusting speed management in the final seconds of the approach will address both deviations without compromising alignment.
