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 1,546 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,546 m of the 2,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 516 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Congratulations on achieving a fantastic aircraft landing score of 98.1%! This is a tremendous accomplishment that showcases your skills as a pilot.
Let's break down your landing performance in each phase of the approach to see where you excelled and where there is room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, it's noted that the descent path was below the glideslope limit. While this indicates a slight deviation from the ideal path, it's important to ensure that you maintain proper vertical guidance to ensure a smooth descent towards the runway in future landings.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's commendable that you had a good threshold height and executed a great landing flare. These actions are crucial in achieving a smooth touchdown and minimizing any potential bounce or harsh landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, there are a few areas that could be improved upon. While the touchdown rate was deemed fair, it's important to aim for a smoother and more controlled landing in order to ensure passenger comfort and safety. Additionally, keeping the speed closer to the target and ensuring that the touchdown point is within the designated zone will help enhance your overall landing performance.
Lastly, during the Rollout Phase, it's noted that the runway alignment was very good. This demonstrates your ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and keep it aligned with the runway centerline.
Overall, your landing score of 98.1% is a testament to your skill and dedication as a pilot. By focusing on maintaining proper descent path, improving touchdown technique, and consistently aligning with the runway during rollout, you can continue to enhance your aircraft landing proficiency even further. Keep up the great work and continue striving for excellence in every aspect of your flying. Keep reaching for the skies!
