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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,242 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,242 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 155 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.90 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
First and foremost, I want to commend you for your performance during the aircraft landing, despite the challenges faced in each phase of the landing process.
In the Approach Phase, it is evident that improvements can be made in terms of descent path, heading alignment, and speed control. Maintaining a steady descent path within the glideslope limit and ensuring proper heading alignment are crucial for a successful landing. Additionally, controlling the speed of the aircraft is essential for a smooth touchdown.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is important to focus on achieving the target threshold height and executing a proper landing flare. These elements play a significant role in ensuring a safe and controlled landing. By improving these aspects, you can enhance the overall quality of your landings.
During the Touchdown Phase, it is clear that there were several areas for improvement. Ranging from the touchdown rate, speed control, touchdown distance, and runway alignment, there are multiple aspects that can be fine-tuned to achieve a more optimal landing. Additionally, avoiding bouncing on touchdown is crucial for a smooth and safe landing.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, maintaining proper runway alignment is key to successfully completing the landing process. Ensuring that the aircraft stays aligned with the centerline of the runway can prevent any potential mishaps during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing score of 54.9% may not have been as high as you may have hoped, it is important to view this as an opportunity for growth and improvement. By identifying the specific areas that need attention and focusing on enhancing your skills in those areas, you can strive for better outcomes in future landings. Remember, practice makes perfect, and with dedication and perseverance, you can achieve your goals in mastering aircraft landings. Keep up the good work and continue to strive for excellence in your flying skills.
