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 1,713 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,713 m of the 2,560 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 385 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
First and foremost, congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 96.9%! It is clear that your skills and precision are top-notch, and you should be proud of this accomplishment.
Let's break down your landing performance in each phase:
Approach Phase: Your good glideslope alignment indicates a strong understanding of the descent profile and approach angles. This sets a solid foundation for a successful landing.
Landing Phase: While the threshold height was slightly below target, the great landing flare demonstrates excellent control and finesse in bringing the aircraft down smoothly. A firm touchdown rate suggests confidence in executing the landing, and a slightly above target speed shows a good balance between safety and efficiency. Additionally, landing inside the touchdown zone and just 3.0 m from the centerline showcases a high level of accuracy.
Touchdown Phase: Despite the firm touchdown rate, your ability to maintain control and keep the aircraft within the designated landing area is commendable. This shows that you are able to adjust to changing conditions and handle unexpected variables effectively.
Rollout Phase: Your excellent runway alignment at this stage reflects a strong sense of situational awareness and a smooth transition from landing to taxiing. This is crucial for maintaining safety and efficiency during the post-landing phase.
Overall, your performance in each phase of the landing process demonstrates a high level of skill and proficiency. Your attention to detail and ability to maintain control in various scenarios are key strengths that contribute to your impressive landing score.
Keep up the great work and continue honing your skills. With such a strong foundation, there is no limit to what you can achieve in your aviation career. Well done!
