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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,203 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 334 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Congratulations on achieving a remarkable aircraft landing score of 97.5%! Your performance during the various phases of the landing process showcases your skill and precision as a pilot.
During the Approach Phase, while the descent path was slightly below the glideslope limit, it is important to note that maintaining a stable descent is crucial for a smooth landing. Focus on managing your descent rate to ensure alignment with the glideslope and improve overall approach accuracy.
In the Landing Phase, your good threshold height and perfect landing flare demonstrate your ability to control the descent and touchdown of the aircraft effectively. However, it is noted that the touchdown rate was a bit hard, and the landing speed was slightly above the target. Paying attention to these factors can help you achieve even smoother landings in the future.
During the Touchdown Phase, despite the hard touchdown rate and slightly elevated speed, the touchdown distance within the touchdown zone is commendable. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being 1.6m from the centerline shows a good level of precision in landing placement.
In the Rollout Phase, while the runway alignment was slightly off at 4.0m from the centerline, it is worth practicing maintaining a straight path during rollout to improve overall landing accuracy.
Overall, your performance during the aircraft landing was impressive, and with continued practice and focus on fine-tuning these aspects, you are on track to further improve your landing technique. Keep up the great work and strive for perfection in every landing you make. Well done!
