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 1,571 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,571 m of the 2,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 536 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Congratulations on achieving a landing score of 97.9%! Your performance during the approach, landing, touchdown, and rollout phases was commendable, with only a few areas for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, your descent path was slightly below the glideslope limit. To maintain optimal safety and efficiency, aim to adjust your descent rate to ensure you stay within the established parameters for the glideslope.
In the Landing Phase, you displayed good skills in managing the threshold height and executed a very good landing flare. These are essential components of a successful landing and indicate your proficiency in handling the aircraft during the critical moments before touchdown.
During the Touchdown Phase, you managed to achieve a smooth touchdown rate, which is integral in ensuring a comfortable landing for passengers and minimizing wear and tear on the aircraft. However, your speed was slightly above the target, so focusing on precise speed control during this phase would further enhance your performance.
Additionally, the touchdown point being 111 meters beyond the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position being 3.7 meters from the centerline suggest a need for improved alignment and precision in touchdown positioning. Paying closer attention to these factors can help you consistently land within the designated areas and improve overall landing accuracy.
In the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was 3.7 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation that can be addressed through enhanced runway tracking and alignment techniques.
Overall, your landing score of 97.9% reflects a high level of skill and proficiency in aircraft handling. By focusing on adjusting your descent path, maintaining precise speed control, and improving touchdown positioning and runway alignment, you can further refine your landing technique and aim for even higher scores in the future. Keep up the excellent work and continue striving for excellence in all phases of aircraft landing.
