Shorten the long landing
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 2,195 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,195 m of the 2,513 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,188 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
While the aircraft landing score of 50.5% may not meet the desired standards, there are specific areas that can be targeted for improvement to enhance future performances.
In the Approach Phase, focusing on maintaining a descent path within the glideslope limits and ensuring proper heading alignment will be key. Additionally, paying closer attention to speed management to consistently hit the target speed will also contribute to a smoother landing overall.
During the Landing Phase, it is critical to work on reducing the threshold height to meet the target, improving the landing flare technique, and enhancing bank angle stability. These adjustments can help in achieving a more precise and controlled touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, efforts can be made to soften the touchdown rate to avoid excessive impact forces on the aircraft. Paying attention to touchdown point and runway alignment will also help in maximizing the use of available runway and ensuring a more accurate landing position.
Lastly, during the Rollout Phase, maintaining runway alignment closer to the centerline will enhance overall landing precision and safety.
It is essential to take these insights as constructive feedback and focus on continuous improvement in each phase of the landing process. By practicing and refining these key areas, you can strive for better scores and ultimately enhance the safety and efficiency of your landings. Keep up the hard work and dedication to reach your desired landing performance goals.
