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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,247 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,247 m of the 3,588 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 761 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from UKLL Lviv International Airport, the Boeing 777F began its journey on runway 13, accelerating down the 954-meter takeoff distance, which covered 34% of the runway. At a liftoff speed of 155 kt, the aircraft lifted off the ground, initiating its climb into the local weather conditions of 3 °C and a negligible headwind of 1 kt at 274 °.
As the aircraft climbed from 2,050 ft asl to 33,996 ft asl, it covered a distance of 95 nm in 14 minutes, achieving an impressive increase of 31,946 ft. The enroute level cruise phase began 2 miles north of Glogow Malopolski, Poland, and lasted for 31 minutes, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered 253 nm. The descent phase started 1 mile north east of Nowe Miasteczko, Poland, and took 22 minutes to descend from 34,001 ft asl to 1,753 ft asl, covering 128 nm in the process.
The final approach to runway 26R at EDDP Leipzig/Halle Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 266.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,298 ft agl. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above target at 148 kt, and the touchdown point was 356 m beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 143 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -132 fpm was smooth. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 m from the centreline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 2,176 m covered 61% of the 3,590-meter runway. After taxiing to the parking from the runway, the aircraft had completed a total flight distance of 485 nm, using 9,955 kg of fuel in the process, and took a total of 77 minutes to complete the journey.
The Boeing 777F touched down on runway 26R at EDDP Leipzig/Halle Airport, showcasing a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed. The aircraft maintained a smooth touchdown speed of 143 kt, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -132 fpm was also satisfactory, demonstrating a controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's position on the runway was slightly misaligned by 4.7 m from the centreline, which may be attributed to the slight crosswind component of 1 kt. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of control and precision during the landing phase. The total landing distance of 2,176 m was 61% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range for a commercial aircraft of this size.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 91.6%. The approach quality was good, with a smooth touchdown and a controlled descent. However, the slight deviation in threshold speed and the minor misalignment on the runway may be areas for improvement. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8 °C and a light headwind of 2 kt, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
