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 2,805 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 256 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

First of all, congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 99.2%! This demonstrates your exceptional skills and precision as a pilot, and it is evident that you executed each phase of the landing process with great attention to detail.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it is noted that you had excellent glideslope alignment, which is crucial for ensuring a smooth descent towards the runway. Additionally, maintaining a slightly below-target speed shows your proficiency in managing the aircraft's velocity during this critical phase of the landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, your performance was commendable. Having a good threshold height indicates that you initiated the landing procedure at the appropriate altitude, allowing for a safe and controlled descent. The perfect landing flare further highlights your ability to execute this maneuver with precision, resulting in a smooth touchdown on the runway.
In the Touchdown Phase, while the touchdown rate was rated as fair, the fact that your speed was on target and the touchdown distance was within the designated zone shows your consistency in aligning the aircraft correctly for landing. Additionally, touching down 13 feet from the centerline demonstrates your proficiency in maintaining runway position during this critical stage of the landing process.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, maintaining a runway alignment of 13 feet from the centerline showcases your ability to navigate the aircraft accurately during the post-landing rollout. This further contributes to the overall smoothness and success of the landing procedure.
Overall, your performance in each phase of the aircraft landing process demonstrates a high level of skill and proficiency. Your attention to detail, precision in maneuvering the aircraft, and consistency in maintaining crucial parameters such as speed and alignment have all contributed to an exceptional landing score of 99.2%. Keep up the excellent work, and continue striving for excellence in your future flights.
