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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,203 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 861 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 1.89 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, a landing score of 92.2% is a very commendable achievement, showcasing strong skills and expertise in aircraft handling. Let's dive deeper into the analysis to see where improvements can be made for an even better performance in the future.
During the Approach Phase, it is noted that the descent path was above the glideslope limit. This suggests the need for better altitude management and potentially more precise navigation to ensure a smooth and safe descent towards the runway. By focusing on maintaining the correct descent path, pilots can enhance their approach and set themselves up for a successful landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is encouraging to see that the threshold height and landing flare were both executed well. These aspects are crucial in ensuring a smooth and controlled touchdown, and it's great to see that these were handled effectively.
In the Touchdown Phase, there were some areas that could be improved upon. While the touchdown rate was fair and the speed was on target, the touchdown point being 436m beyond the touchdown zone indicates the need for better alignment and timing. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being 2.6m from the centerline suggests the importance of maintaining proper alignment during touchdown.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, it is noted that the runway alignment was very good. This reflects strong proficiency in maintaining control and direction during the rollout, which is essential for a safe and efficient landing.
Overall, while there were some areas that could be improved upon, a landing score of 92.2% is an impressive achievement. By focusing on refining descent path, touchdown alignment, and timing, pilots can continue to enhance their skills and strive for even higher scores in future landings. Keep up the great work and continue refining your techniques to achieve even greater success in your landings.
