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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,791 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,555 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Fantastic job on your aircraft landing score of 98.7%! Let's break down your performance in each phase of the landing to highlight the strengths and areas for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, you demonstrated excellent glideslope alignment, which is crucial for a smooth descent towards the runway. This shows great precision and control during the initial stages of the landing process.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you maintained a good threshold height and executed a perfect landing flare. This indicates a strong understanding of when to start the flare maneuver to ensure a smooth touchdown on the runway. Your attention to detail in this phase paid off.
In the Touchdown Phase, while your touchdown rate was fair, your speed was right on target. Additionally, although the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated zone, your runway touchdown position was only 7 feet from the centerline, which shows good alignment upon landing.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was very good, indicating a successful transition from touchdown to taxiing off the runway. This is important for safely clearing the runway and allowing for efficient traffic flow.
Overall, your landing performance was exceptional, with only minor areas for improvement. Keep up the great work and continue to focus on fine-tuning your skills in each phase of the landing process. You are on the right track to becoming an even more proficient pilot. Well done!
