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 2,126 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,126 m of the 2,985 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 932 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 90.5% is commendable and shows strong proficiency in various phases of the landing process. Let's break down each phase to further understand what went well and where there is room for improvement.
The Approach Phase received high marks for excellent glideslope alignment, indicating a smooth and precise descent towards the runway. This is essential for a safe and controlled landing, so well done on this aspect.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, your performance was solid with good threshold height and a well-executed landing flare. These factors contribute to a stable approach and touchdown, setting the stage for a successful landing.
While the Touchdown Phase had some areas for improvement, such as a hard touchdown rate and a slightly higher speed than target, these are common issues that can be addressed through practice and fine-tuning. Additionally, landing 513 meters beyond the touchdown zone is something to be mindful of, as it can impact runway utilization and overall efficiency.
The touchdown point being off center by 7.0 meters and landing with a 4 knot tailwind are factors that may have contributed to the deviations in touchdown and runway alignment. These are areas to pay close attention to in future landings to ensure precision and safety.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, maintaining runway alignment within 7.0 meters from the centerline is key for a smooth rollout and taxiing. Consistency in this aspect will enhance overall landing performance and improve overall efficiency.
Overall, your landing score of 90.5% reflects a strong proficiency in many areas of the landing process. Keep practicing, paying attention to details, and making adjustments as needed, and you will continue to improve and achieve even better scores in future landings. Keep up the good work!
