Top opportunity

Shorten the long landing

Arrival Touchdown

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.

Landing Summary

Overall, the aircraft landing went quite smoothly with some minor areas for improvement. The Approach Phase had excellent glideslope and heading alignment, with only a slight deviation in speed. The Landing Phase saw a good threshold height and very smooth landing flare. In the Touchdown Phase, while the touchdown rate was fair, the speed was on target and runway alignment was very good. However, the touchdown distance was longer than desired.

For future landings, I would recommend focusing on reducing the touchdown distance by ensuring a more precise flare and touchdown rate. Additionally, continue to practice maintaining speed and alignment throughout all phases of the landing to further improve overall performance. Keep up the great work on maintaining glideslope and heading alignment as these were noteworthy strengths in this landing.
