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 1,091 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,091 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 272 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, a landing score of 96.3% is a fantastic achievement and reflects the skill and proficiency of the pilot during the different phases of landing. It is important to acknowledge the strengths of each phase, such as the excellent glideslope alignment during the Approach Phase and the precise touchdown distance and position inside the touchdown zone in the Touchdown Phase.
In the Landing Phase, while there were some areas for improvement, such as poor landing heading and bank angle stability, it is important to focus on the positive aspects, such as the good threshold height and perfect landing flare. These highlights demonstrate a strong foundation in executing a successful landing.
Additionally, the Touchdown Phase showcased accurate speed control and a relatively smooth touchdown, despite the slight hardness of the touchdown rate. The runway alignment during the Rollout Phase was also commendable, contributing to the overall successful landing.
Moving forward, it is essential to continue practicing and refining skills in areas that may need improvement, such as maintaining consistent heading and bank angle stability during landing. By building upon the strengths demonstrated in this landing score, further progress and even higher scores can be achieved in future flights.
Keep up the great work and maintain a positive attitude towards learning and improving. With dedication and practice, you are on the right track towards mastering the art of aircraft landing.
