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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,783 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 598 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Congratulations on achieving a fantastic aircraft landing score of 98.1%! Your proficiency in each phase of the landing process is truly commendable.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent, ensuring a smooth descent towards the runway. While your speed was slightly above target, your focus on maintaining precision in the alignment is noteworthy.
In the Landing Phase, you displayed great skill in executing the landing flare, resulting in a smooth touchdown. Although the threshold height was slightly above target, your ability to control the touchdown rate and maintain the correct speed demonstrates your expertise in handling the aircraft.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown point being 166 meters beyond the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position being 3.2 meters from the centerline indicate your proficiency in landing the aircraft accurately. However, it is important to note the presence of a 3 knot tailwind during landing, which poses additional challenges that should be addressed in future landings.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was very good, showcasing your ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the final stages of the landing process.
Overall, your exceptional performance in each phase of the landing demonstrates your dedication to mastering the art of aircraft control. Keep up the great work and continue striving for excellence in every aspect of your flying skills. Well done!
