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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 134 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Congratulations on achieving a landing score of 97.6%! This is a fantastic achievement and showcases your skill and precision as a pilot.
Let's break down your landing further:
Approach Phase: It is noted that the descent path was slightly below the glideslope limit. While this is a minor deviation, it is important to aim for a more consistent descent path in future landings.
Landing Phase: Your threshold height and landing flare were both excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled approach to the runway. This demonstrates your ability to handle the aircraft with confidence and precision.
Touchdown Phase: The touchdown rate was noted to be a little hard, and the speed was slightly above the target. It is important to aim for a softer touchdown and stay within the appropriate speed range to ensure a smooth landing. However, it is commendable that the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was only 2.7m from the centerline.
Rollout Phase: The runway alignment during the rollout phase was described as very good, indicating a successful landing and smooth taxiing on the runway.
Overall, your landing was highly successful, with only minor areas for improvement. Keep up the great work and continue to strive for excellence in your future landings. Your dedication to precision and safety is truly commendable. Well done!
