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.

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 2,135 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 601 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Congratulations on achieving a landing score of 95.6%! Your performance throughout the approach, landing, touchdown, and rollout phases was commendable, showcasing excellent skills and precision.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was exceptional, indicating your ability to maintain appropriate altitude and descent rate to ensure a smooth approach to the runway. This level of accuracy is essential for a safe and controlled landing.
In the Landing Phase, your threshold height was good, allowing for a precise touchdown point on the runway. Additionally, your landing flare was very well executed, indicating a smooth and controlled transition from descent to touchdown.
Moving on to the Touchdown Phase, while the touchdown rate was fair, your speed was on target, ensuring a safe and stable landing. The touchdown point being 186 m beyond the touchdown zone shows a good awareness of the aircraft's position and alignment with the runway.
Furthermore, the runway touchdown position being 4.7 m from the centerline demonstrates a strong ability to maintain lateral alignment during the landing process. This level of accuracy is crucial for safe operations and efficient runway utilization.
Finally, during the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 6.3 m from the centerline highlights continued attentiveness and control in maintaining the aircraft's path along the centerline post-touchdown.
Overall, your performance during the landing sequence was excellent, with minor areas for improvement that can be easily addressed with continued practice and focus. Keep up the great work and continue striving for excellence in every aspect of your flying. Well done!
