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 2,456 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,456 m of the 2,910 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,108 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 82.5% indicates that there are aspects of the landing that need improvement. While the score is not perfect, it is still above average and shows potential for growth and enhancement in future landings.
Starting with the Approach Phase, the poor descent path above the glideslope limit is something that can be addressed with better awareness and practice. It is essential to maintain a proper descent path to ensure a smooth and safe landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, the fact that the threshold height was above the target and there was a very poor landing flare suggests a need for better coordination and precision during this crucial phase of the landing process. Working on these areas will greatly improve the overall quality of the landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, the hard touchdown rate, slightly above target speed, and landing point beyond the touchdown zone all point to a need for better control and finesse during touchdown. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being off centerline can be corrected through improved alignment techniques.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being off centerline shows a need for better directional control during rollout. Focusing on maintaining proper alignment will result in smoother landings and improved overall performance.
Overall, while there are areas that need improvement, it is important to view this landing score as an opportunity for growth and development. By pinpointing the specific areas that need attention and dedicating time and effort to practice and refinement, future landings can be executed with greater precision and success. Keep up the hard work and strive for continual improvement in your aircraft landings. You have the potential to achieve even higher scores with determination and practice. Good luck!
