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 2,138 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 251 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 16 at CYXC Cranbrook/Canadian Rockies International Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 16, the Boeing 737-700 accelerated to a liftoff speed of 134 kt and left the runway after traveling 836 m, which represented 38 % of the available length; ambient temperature was 23 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 210 °, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
Climb commenced overhead CYXC, with the aircraft ascending from 3,994 ft asl to 40,878 ft asl, an increase of 36,885 ft achieved in 41 minutes while covering 309 nm.
Cruise began 13 miles north-east of KLET Lewistown Airport and continued for 173 minutes, during which the flight traversed 1,467 nm at level altitude.
Descent was initiated 1 mile south-west of Enola, Pennsylvania, with the aircraft descending from 40,999 ft asl to 1,392 ft asl, a loss of 39,608 ft in 13 minutes and a distance of 87 nm.
The final approach to runway 01 at KILG Wilmington Airport was flown from the south on a heading of 5.0 °, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,304 ft agl.
Touchdown occurred on runway 01 with a threshold speed of 119 kt, a touchdown distance of 252 m, a touchdown speed of 113 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 232 fpm; runway alignment at touchdown was perfect and local weather reported a temperature of 23 °C, wind 2 kt from 79 °, a cross-wind of 2 kt and a head-wind of 1 kt.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 595 m, representing 28 % of the runway length of 2,138 m, and the runway rollout alignment remained perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,868 nm, required 233 minutes of airborne time and consumed 8,914 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 entered the final approach to runway 01 at KILG Wilmington Airport from the south on a heading of 5.0° at 4 nm and 1,304 ft AGL. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 119 kt. Ambient temperature was 23 °C, wind was 2 kt from 79°, giving a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
Touchdown occurred 252 m down the runway at a speed of 113 kt, which was good, with a touchdown rate rated fair at minus 232 fpm and runway touchdown alignment perfect.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 595 m, representing 28 % of the 2,138 m runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
To refine the already high score of 99.1 %, focus on reducing the vertical speed at touchdown to move the rate from fair toward good, which will further smooth the flare and touchdown phases.
