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 2,190 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,190 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,030 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 78.3% indicates areas for improvement in each phase of the landing process. While there were some positive aspects, such as a firm touchdown rate and on-target speed during the Touchdown Phase, there are clear opportunities to enhance the overall landing performance.
In the Approach Phase, it is crucial to ensure a descent path within glideslope limits to achieve a smooth and controlled landing. By addressing the issues with the descent path above the glideslope limit, you can improve the accuracy and efficiency of your approach, leading to a more stable landing.
During the Landing Phase, excessive threshold height above target and a very poor landing flare indicate a need for attention to detail and precision in the final moments before touchdown. Focusing on establishing the correct threshold height and executing a proper landing flare will contribute to a more finesse landing experience.
The Touchdown Phase revealed a touchdown point significantly beyond the touchdown zone, as well as a runway touchdown position off-center from the designated centerline. By working on enhancing your alignment and touchdown precision, you can improve the overall landing accuracy and consistency.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, it is important to ensure proper runway alignment to avoid drifting off-center from the centerline. By concentrating on maintaining a straight path during rollout, you can enhance the overall landing performance and achieve a smoother landing experience for passengers and crew.
Overall, while there are areas for improvement in each phase of the landing process, it is essential to approach these challenges with a positive mindset and a commitment to enhancing your skills and techniques. By focusing on specific areas for improvement and implementing targeted strategies for refinement, you can elevate your aircraft landing score and achieve greater proficiency and consistency in future landings. Keep up the hard work and dedication to mastering the art of landing, and you will undoubtedly see progress and success in your aviation endeavors.
