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 2,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,524 m of the 3,567 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,415 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
While the aircraft landing score of 75.4% may not have been ideal, it is important to note that there are specific areas for improvement that can be addressed and corrected for future landings.
In the Approach Phase, focus should be placed on maintaining a descent path within the glideslope limits and ensuring that the speed remains close to the target speed. This will contribute to a smoother and more controlled approach to the runway.
During the Landing Phase, attention should be given to the threshold height, landing flare, and bank angle stability. By working on these factors, the touchdown can be improved and made more precise, leading to a more successful landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, efforts should be made to reduce the hardness of the touchdown and ensure that the speed is within the target range. Additionally, attention should be paid to the touchdown point and runway alignment to ensure that they meet the required standards.
Overall, while the landing score may not have been perfect, it is important to view this as an opportunity for growth and improvement. By addressing the specific areas mentioned, future landings can be made more successful and ultimately lead to a higher landing score. Keep practicing and focusing on these key areas, and improvements will be seen over time. You've got this!
