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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,387 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 392 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Great job on your aircraft landing with a score of 97.1%! Let's break down your performance in each phase of the landing and see how you can further improve.
In the Approach Phase, your descent path was below the glideslope limit, indicating that you may need to adjust your approach angle to ensure a smoother descent. Additionally, your speed was slightly above the target, which could have contributed to the descent path issue. Try to maintain a more precise speed control to stay on track with the glideslope.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you did well with the threshold height and had a great landing flare, which is crucial for a smooth touchdown. However, your touchdown rate was hard, indicating that you may need to work on adjusting your descent rate to avoid a rough touchdown. Also, keeping your speed closer to the target will help in achieving a smoother landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, your speed was a little above the target, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate. Try to focus on maintaining a consistent speed throughout the landing to ensure a smoother touchdown. It's great that you were able to land within the touchdown zone, but the runway touchdown position being slightly off-center indicates the need for better alignment during touchdown.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was slightly off-center, which may have been affected by the touchdown position. Paying attention to your alignment during the rollout phase can help you maintain a straight path down the runway and improve your overall landing performance.
Overall, you demonstrated strong skills in certain aspects of the landing, such as threshold height and landing flare. By focusing on speed control, descent rate, and alignment during touchdown and rollout, you can further improve your landing performance and aim for an even higher score in the future. Keep up the good work and continue to practice and fine-tune your skills to achieve smoother landings consistently.
