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 2,078 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,078 m of the 2,577 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,039 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
While your aircraft landing score of 67.6% may not have been where you wanted it to be, it's important to remember that every landing is an opportunity for growth and improvement. Let's break down the different phases of the landing and see where we can make some positive changes.
The Approach Phase: It's clear that there were issues with the descent path and speed being too high. Remember to closely monitor your descent path and adjust your speed accordingly to stay within limits. By focusing on these areas, you can improve your approach phase and set yourself up for a smoother landing.
The Landing Phase: Excessive threshold height and a poor landing flare can definitely impact your overall landing score. Work on maintaining a proper threshold height and practicing your landing flare technique to ensure a smoother touchdown in the future.
The Touchdown Phase: It's great to see that your touchdown rate was perfect, but there were some areas that could use improvement. Try to bring your speed closer to the target and aim for a touchdown point that is within the designated zone. Pay attention to your runway alignment as well to ensure you stay close to the centerline.
Overall, it's important to remember that landing is a skill that takes practice and patience to master. By focusing on specific areas for improvement and making adjustments as needed, you can work towards achieving a higher landing score in the future. Keep up the hard work and stay positive – you've got this!
