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 1,731 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,731 m of the 2,910 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 944 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
First of all, congratulations on achieving an aircraft landing score of 87.6%! Your performance in the Approach Phase was particularly commendable, with excellent glideslope alignment. This demonstrates your ability to maintain proper descent towards the runway, ensuring a smooth transition towards the landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, while your threshold height was good, there is room for improvement in the landing flare. Ensuring a proper landing flare is crucial for a smooth touchdown and can significantly impact the overall landing quality. Consider practicing and focusing on this aspect in your future landings.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was noted as hard, but it is positive to see that your speed was on target. Additionally, achieving a touchdown point 528 m beyond the touchdown zone indicates good control and awareness during the landing process. Keep up the good work in maintaining proper speed and touchdown accuracy.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, while your runway alignment was slightly off at 7.7 m from the centerline, this can be improved with more practice and attention to detail. Ensuring precise alignment during the rollout phase is essential for a safe and efficient landing.
Overall, your performance in this landing was solid, with some areas that can be further refined. Keep up the hard work, continue practicing, and maintaining focus on all phases of the landing process. With dedication and persistence, you can strive for even higher scores in your future landings. Well done!
