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 3,034 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 213 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Great job on achieving a landing score of 94.7%! Let's break down the different phases of the landing to further improve your performance.
During the Approach Phase, it was noted that the descent path was below the glideslope limit. This can indicate that adjustments in altitude control may be needed to ensure a smoother approach.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's great to see that you had a good threshold height and a fair landing flare. These are key elements in ensuring a safe and smooth touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown rate was noted to be very hard, which could potentially cause discomfort for passengers and put additional stress on the landing gear. Additionally, the speed was slightly above the target, so adjusting the speed control during touchdown can help improve the overall landing quality.
Although the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone, the runway touchdown position was 3.3 m from the centerline. Ensuring a more centralized touchdown can contribute to better alignment and control during the rollout phase.
Speaking of the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was slightly off at 4.2 m from the centerline. Paying attention to maintaining a straight path during rollout can help enhance the overall landing performance.
Overall, your landing score shows a strong performance, with room for improvement in certain areas. By focusing on altitude control during approach, adjusting speed during touchdown, and ensuring centralized touchdown and runway alignment, you can continue to enhance your landing skills and achieve even higher scores in the future. Keep up the great work and keep striving for excellence in every phase of the landing process!
