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 1,137 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,137 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 475 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 98.0% is a fantastic achievement and reflects the skill and proficiency of the pilot during various phases of the landing process.
Starting with the Approach Phase, while the glideslope alignment was reported as unstable, this could have been due to external factors such as weather conditions or air traffic, which are often beyond the pilot's control. Nevertheless, it is important to remain focused and make necessary adjustments to ensure a safe and successful landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is evident that the pilot demonstrated excellent skills in maintaining a good threshold height and executing a flawless landing flare. These aspects are crucial in ensuring a smooth touchdown and minimizing the impact on the aircraft and passengers.
In the Touchdown Phase, the pilot's performance was commendable with a good touchdown rate, slightly above target speed and touchdown distance being inside the designated touchdown zone. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was reported as very good, indicating precision and accuracy in the landing process.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the pilot maintained excellent runway alignment, further showcasing their proficiency in handling the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
Overall, this landing score of 98.0% is a testament to the pilot's dedication, skill, and commitment to safety. It is important to continue practicing and honing these skills to ensure consistent high-performance landings in the future. Keep up the great work!
