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.

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 5,080 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,080 ft of the 7,524 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,414 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 81.9% shows room for improvement but also highlights areas where you performed well. Let's break down the different phases of the landing and discuss how you can enhance your performance in each phase.
Firstly, in the Approach Phase, it is crucial to maintain a proper descent path and ensure that you are within the glideslope limit. Being above the glideslope limit indicates that your descent was too steep, which can lead to a high approach speed and potential difficulties during the landing. Focus on adjusting your descent angle to stay within the glideslope limit to improve your approach phase performance.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is clear that there are areas for improvement. Having the threshold height slightly above target suggests that your approach to the runway could be more precise. Additionally, a very poor landing flare indicates that you may need to work on your technique for a smoother touchdown. Practice your flare technique to ensure a smoother transition from descent to touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was perfect which is a positive aspect of your landing. However, the speed being slightly above the target and the touchdown point being 498 m beyond the touchdown zone indicate that there is room for improvement in terms of accuracy and precision. Work on adjusting your speed and aim to touchdown within the designated zone for a more efficient landing.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 3.4 m from the centerline suggests that there is room for improvement in maintaining a straight path during rollout. Focus on aligning the aircraft with the runway centerline to enhance your overall landing performance.
Overall, your landing score of 81.9% is a good starting point, but there are specific areas where you can focus on improvement to enhance your overall landing skills. Keep practicing and refining your techniques in each phase of the landing to achieve a higher score and smoother landings in the future. Remember, practice makes perfect, and with dedication and persistence, you'll continue to progress and improve your aircraft landing performance. Keep up the good work and stay focused on refining your skills for even better landings in the future.
