Given that the FCOM states that normal flare height is 30ft that is very surprising.
The FCOM says that a late flare will likely result in a hard landing.
Especially if you retard the thrust levers high, you will tend to lose speed hence reduce the flare efficiency..

So could you tell us more about your landing technique ?
Thanks
