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 2,135 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 640 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 97.2%! This is an excellent result that showcases your skill and precision as a pilot.
In the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was exceptional, while your speed was slightly below target. This indicates a high level of control and focus during the descent, which likely contributed to the smooth transition into the Landing Phase. Maintaining proper speed and alignment during approach is crucial for a successful landing, so your performance in this phase is commendable.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, your threshold height was good and your landing flare was very well executed. These factors are key in ensuring a smooth and safe touchdown, and your ability to accurately judge these aspects speaks to your proficiency as a pilot.
During the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was fair, but your speed was on target. Additionally, the touchdown point being slightly beyond the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position slightly off centreline are minor deviations that can easily be improved with practice and attention to detail.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was very good, indicating a controlled and stable landing rollout. Maintaining proper alignment during rollout ensures efficient taxiing and enhances overall runway safety.
Overall, your landing performance was highly commendable, with strong points in glideslope alignment, landing flare, and runway alignment. Keep up the great work and continue to refine your skills to achieve even higher scores in the future. Well done!
