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 1,648 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,648 m of the 3,001 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 986 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, you did a great job during the approach phase with excellent glideslope and heading alignment, as well as maintaining the correct speed. However, there were some areas that could use improvement during the landing, touchdown, and rollout phases.
What went well: - Excellent glideslope alignment during the approach phase - On-target heading alignment and speed during the approach phase - Good threshold height during the landing phase - Excellent touchdown rate and speed during the touchdown phase
What didn't go so well: - Poor landing flare during the landing phase - Very long distance during the touchdown phase - Fair runway alignment during the touchdown phase - Poor runway alignment during the rollout phase
Recommendations for improvement: 1. Work on improving the landing flare to ensure a smoother touchdown. 2. Pay attention to the distance during the touchdown phase to avoid landing too far down the runway. 3. Focus on improving runway alignment during both the touchdown and rollout phases to maintain control and safety during landing. 4. Practice consistent speed control throughout all phases of the landing to ensure a safe and smooth touchdown.
Overall, your performance was commendable, but there are areas that could be improved upon for a more precise and safe landing. Keep practicing and seeking feedback to continue refining your skills as a pilot. Great job!
