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.

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 1,848 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,848 m of the 3,662 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,021 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 1.74 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
While the aircraft landing score of 66.3% may seem disheartening, it's important to recognize that there are clear areas of improvement that can be worked on to achieve a better outcome in the future.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it's evident that the descent path was above the glideslope limit and the speed slightly exceeded the target. By focusing on maintaining a more precise descent path and closely monitoring speed, pilots can ensure a smoother transition into the Landing Phase.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, there are a few key areas that need attention. The threshold height being excessively over target indicates a need for more precise altitude control during the approach. Additionally, the poor landing flare and heading suggest a need for better coordination and execution of landing procedures. By practicing these maneuvers and focusing on technique, improvements can be made in these critical moments of the landing process.
In the Touchdown Phase, the heavy touchdown rate and landing point being significantly beyond the designated zone are clear indicators of a need for better control and precision during the final moments of the landing. Adjusting touchdown speed and aiming for a more accurate touchdown point can lead to a smoother overall landing experience.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being off-center highlights the importance of maintaining proper alignment throughout the landing process. By consistently working on maintaining runway alignment, pilots can ensure a safe and successful landing every time.
Overall, while the current landing score may not be as high as desired, it's clear that there are actionable areas for improvement. By focusing on technique, precision, and coordination throughout each phase of the landing process, pilots can work towards achieving a higher score and ensuring a safe and successful landing in the future. Keep practicing and refining your skills, and the results will reflect your dedication and hard work in no time.
