This definition of Hard Brexit would include the stopping of (off the top of my head);
Assurance of aircraft safety and freedom to fly across Europe (SES agreement)
Sharing of criminal data (Europol)
Harmonisation of drug regulation allowing free import/export of medicines (EMA)
Harmonisation of food safety standards allowing free import/export of food (EFSA)
Here's a more complete list -

Countries like Switzerland, Norway and Iceland are members of many of these EU institutions quite happily but the definition of hard brexit suggests we would leave. I don't get why we would be better off doing this.
