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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,614 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 632 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 0.91 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
First and foremost, I want to commend you for successfully navigating through the different phases of the aircraft landing process. While your overall score may not be where you would ideally want it to be, it's important to recognize the areas where you excelled and the areas where improvement is needed.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it's clear that there were some challenges with descent path and heading alignment. Maintaining a steady descent path and proper heading alignment are crucial for a smooth and efficient approach. Additionally, being mindful of your speed and ensuring it remains within target limits is key to a successful landing. I encourage you to focus on these aspects during your future flights to improve your overall performance.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's worth noting that threshold height was above target and there was very poor landing flare. Achieving the correct threshold height and executing a proper landing flare are essential for a safe and controlled touchdown. It's an area that may require some additional practice and attention to detail. Remember, consistency is key when it comes to mastering these techniques.
In the Touchdown Phase, while the touchdown rate was smooth and speed was on target, there were some issues with touchdown point and runway touchdown position. It's crucial to aim for precision when it comes to touchdown point and runway alignment to ensure a safe and accurate landing. Paying closer attention to these details can help you improve your overall performance in this phase.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, runway alignment was slightly off from the centerline. Ensuring proper alignment during the rollout phase is important for a smooth and controlled exit from the runway. I encourage you to focus on maintaining accuracy in this area to further refine your landing technique.
Overall, while there were some areas that may have proven challenging during this particular landing, it's important to view it as a learning opportunity for growth and improvement. By identifying specific areas for development and actively working on them during practice sessions, you can enhance your skills and strive for higher landing scores in the future. Keep up the hard work and dedication, and remember that continuous improvement is the key to success in aviation.
