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 2,007 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,007 m of the 3,040 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 496 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, I want to commend you on achieving a high aircraft landing score of 94.3%! While there were some areas that could be improved, you still demonstrated skill and professionalism throughout the landing process.
In the Approach Phase, it's important to focus on maintaining a descent path within the glideslope limit and ensuring that your speed is at the target level. These are critical components in setting up for a successful landing, so I encourage you to practice these aspects to improve your overall approach performance.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you did well in terms of threshold height and landing flare, which are both important elements in achieving a smooth touchdown. Keep up the good work in these areas, as they contribute to a safe and controlled landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, it's clear that there were some challenges with the touchdown rate, speed, and touchdown point. While these may have impacted the overall landing score, I want to commend you on your effort and encourage you to focus on improving these areas in future landings. Remember to aim for a softer touchdown with better speed control and alignment with the touchdown zone and centreline.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, maintaining runway alignment is crucial for a safe and efficient landing. I urge you to pay close attention to your positioning on the runway to ensure you are aligned with the centreline for a smooth rollout.
Overall, I am impressed with your high score and believe that with continued practice and attention to detail, you have the potential to further improve and achieve even better results in future landings. Keep up the hard work and dedication to mastering the art of aircraft landings!
