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 2,708 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 477 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Congratulations on achieving a landing score of 98.0%! This is a fantastic accomplishment and demonstrates your skill and proficiency as a pilot.
Let's break down the different phases of the landing and analyze your performance:
Approach Phase: Your good glideslope alignment indicates that you were able to maintain the correct vertical descent path towards the runway, ensuring a smooth and controlled approach. This is a crucial aspect of a successful landing and can greatly contribute to overall landing accuracy.
Landing Phase: Your good threshold height indicates that you maintained the correct altitude above the runway threshold, allowing for a precise and timely touchdown. Additionally, your very good landing flare suggests that you executed a smooth transition from descent to touchdown, minimizing the impact on the landing gear and providing a comfortable experience for passengers.
Touchdown Phase: While your touchdown rate was fair, it's important to note that this is a relatively minor aspect of the landing. The fact that your speed was on target and you were able to touch down within the designated touchdown zone shows excellent control and precision. Additionally, the very good runway touchdown position indicates that you were able to land the aircraft in the desired location on the runway, further showcasing your proficiency.
Rollout Phase: Your very good runway alignment during the rollout phase demonstrates your ability to maintain control of the aircraft and keep it centered on the runway, which is essential for a safe and efficient landing.
Overall, your performance during each phase of the landing was excellent, with only minor areas for improvement. Keep up the great work and continue to refine your skills to achieve even higher landing scores in the future. Your dedication to excellence is truly commendable, and I have no doubt that you will continue to excel in your flying endeavors. Well done!
