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 2,100 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,100 m of the 2,863 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,287 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
It's great to see that your overall aircraft landing score was 76.8%! That's a solid score, and it shows that you have a strong foundation in your approach, landing, touchdown, and rollout phases.
Let's break down your performance in each phase:
Approach Phase: Your descent path was slightly above the glideslope limit, and your speed was well above the target. This is an area for improvement, as maintaining the correct descent path and speed is crucial for a smooth and safe landing.
Landing Phase: Your threshold height was significantly above the target, and you had a very poor landing flare. It's important to work on achieving the correct threshold height and executing a proper landing flare to ensure a smoother touchdown.
Touchdown Phase: Your touchdown rate was fair, and your speed was slightly above the target. However, your touchdown point was 820 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was 2.6 m from the centerline. Additionally, you landed with a 3 kn tailwind, which is a safety concern. Focus on improving your touchdown precision and being mindful of tailwind conditions.
Rollout Phase: Your runway alignment was 17.5 m from the centerline. It's essential to maintain proper runway alignment during the rollout phase to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
Overall, while there are areas for improvement in each phase, your performance shows potential and a willingness to learn and grow. Keep practicing and honing your skills, focusing on maintaining the correct descent path, speed, threshold height, landing flare, touchdown precision, and runway alignment. With dedication and practice, you can continue to enhance your aircraft landing skills and achieve even better scores in the future. Good job, and keep up the great work!
