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 1,617 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,617 m of the 3,046 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 361 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 79.9% could be improved upon with some focused adjustments in various phases of the landing process. While there were some deficiencies noted, such as poor descent path above the glideslope limit during the Approach Phase, there are clear opportunities for improvement.
In the Landing Phase, attention should be given to the threshold height, landing flare, and bank angle stability. Ensuring the threshold height is within target parameters, executing a smooth landing flare, and maintaining stable bank angles during touchdown will greatly enhance the overall landing performance.
During the Touchdown Phase, focusing on reducing the touchdown rate, achieving target speed, and improving touchdown distance and runway alignment will all contribute to a smoother landing. Additionally, avoiding landing with a tailwind is crucial for safe operations.
In the Rollout Phase, adjusting the runway alignment to be closer to the centerline will further enhance the landing score. By addressing these key areas of improvement with a proactive and diligent approach, future landings can be executed with greater precision and efficiency.
Overall, the current landing performance shows room for growth and refinement. With a positive attitude and a commitment to continual improvement, the aircraft landing score can be significantly increased in future operations. Keep up the hard work and focus on honing your skills to achieve even better results in the future.
