This inevitably means excess float unless the pilot spikes the aircraft on to the runway during the float. A potentially dangerous practice.
Why does there have to be "excess float"?
If you are carrying more speed than normal, simply touchdown within the touch down zone with a slightly lower attitude. The amount of flare needed is relative to the pitch attitude on the glide path - it is not some fixed pitch attitude.
