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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,619 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,815 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Fantastic job on achieving a landing score of 98.2%! Let's break down your performance in each phase of the landing process to see where you excelled and where you have room for improvement.
In the Approach Phase, your descent path was slightly below the glideslope limit, which may have contributed to the speed being slightly below target. To improve in this area, focus on maintaining a consistent descent path to ensure you hit the target speed as you approach the runway.
During the Landing Phase, you did well with a good threshold height and a great landing flare. These are crucial elements of a successful landing, so keep up the good work in this regard.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was fair and your speed was on target, which is commendable. However, the touchdown point being 426 ft beyond the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position being 9 ft from the centerline could be areas for improvement. Aim to touchdown within the designated zone and align your aircraft closer to the centerline for a more precise landing.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was very good, which is excellent to see. Consistent alignment with the runway during rollout is essential for a smooth and safe landing.
Overall, your performance was impressive, with strong points in several key areas. Keep practicing and striving for perfection in all phases of the landing process to continue improving your skills. Well done on your high landing score – keep up the great work!
