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 1,932 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 461 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 95.9% is a commendable achievement, showcasing the pilot's skill and precision in various phases of the landing process.
During the Approach Phase, the good glideslope alignment indicates that the aircraft was descending at the correct angle towards the runway, optimizing the approach for a smooth touchdown. This is a crucial aspect of the landing procedure as it sets the foundation for a successful landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is evident that the pilot displayed excellent control with a good threshold height and great landing flare. Maintaining the correct threshold height ensures a safe and timely touchdown, while executing a smooth landing flare helps in cushioning the impact on touchdown. However, there were areas of improvement identified in the landing heading and bank angle stability. Focusing on these aspects can further enhance the overall landing performance.
In the Touchdown Phase, the smooth touchdown rate and on-target speed indicate a controlled and well-executed touchdown. Additionally, landing within the touchdown zone and positioning the aircraft just 1.6 m from the centreline demonstrates precision and accuracy in landing placement.
As for the Rollout Phase, the slight deviation of 6.2 m from the centreline in runway alignment suggests room for improvement in maintaining straight alignment during the rollout. Consistency in runway alignment enhances runway safety and efficiency.
Overall, while the landing score of 95.9% reflects a high level of proficiency, there are specific areas highlighted for further enhancement. By addressing the identified areas for improvement, the pilot can strive for even greater precision and proficiency in future landings. Keep up the great work and continue to prioritize safety and skill in every landing maneuver.
