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 7,466 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 7,466 ft of the 11,075 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,951 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 88.7% is a solid result, indicating a good level of proficiency during the different phases of the landing sequence. Let's break down the analysis of each phase and see where improvements can be made.
During the Approach Phase, you exhibited excellent glideslope alignment, which is crucial for a smooth and controlled descent towards the runway. Maintaining this level of precision will help ensure a safe and efficient approach to landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you had a good threshold height, indicating that you were at the correct altitude as you crossed the runway threshold. However, the landing flare was noted as very poor. The landing flare is the crucial moment where the pilot transitions from descent to landing and it is important to execute this maneuver smoothly to ensure a gentle touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was good and your speed was on target, both of which are key factors in achieving a safe and controlled landing. However, the touchdown point being 2588 ft beyond the touchdown zone suggests that you may have landed too far down the runway. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being 17 ft from the centerline indicates a slight deviation from the optimal landing path.
Lastly, during the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 17 ft from the centerline suggests some difficulty in maintaining a straight line after touchdown. Ensuring proper alignment during the rollout phase will help improve overall landing accuracy.
In conclusion, while your overall aircraft landing score is commendable, there are some areas that could benefit from improvement. Focus on executing a smoother landing flare, ensuring proper touchdown point and alignment, and maintaining runway alignment during rollout. With continued practice and attention to these areas, you will be able to further improve your landing proficiency. Keep up the good work and strive for excellence in all phases of the landing sequence.
