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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 471 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 19L at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen. The takeoff distance was 1,261 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles northwest of Jessheim in Viken, Norway. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 72 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,698 feet above sea level to 30,605 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,906 feet.
After the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 14 miles south of ENDI Geilo Airport Dagali Dagali in Viken, Norway. This cruise lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 22 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 21 miles southwest of Geilo in Viken, Norway. The descent took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 83 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 30,470 feet above sea level to 2,844 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,626 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles southwest of Frekhaug in Vestland, Norway. This cruise lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile north of Askoy in Vestland, Norway. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 2,578 feet above sea level to 1,449 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,128 feet.
The final approach to runway 17 at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland was made from the north, with a heading of 171.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 17, which has a length of 2,441 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots.
The touchdown point was 223 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 142 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -345 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 33 knots from a direction of 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 32 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,197 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 191 nautical miles, and the flight took 51 minutes. The aircraft used 2,596 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland, with a score of 97.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 171.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 17, which has a length of 2,441 meters.
The landing was executed with a slightly above-target threshold speed of 143 knots. The touchdown point was 223 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was faster than the target speed, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -345 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the deviation from the touchdown zone. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 7°C, a wind speed of 33 knots from 160°, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and a 32-knot headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,197 meters, which accounts for 49% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the intended landing parameters. The pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft and bring it to a safe stop within a reasonable distance is a testament to their skill and experience.
