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 3,246 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,210 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Firstly, I want to acknowledge your dedication to improving your aircraft landing techniques. It's great that you are seeking feedback and looking for ways to enhance your skills.
Let's break down the different factors that contributed to your landing score of 63.3% and high speed.
Starting with the Landing Phase, the threshold height being excessively over the target suggests that you may need to work on your approach and descent angle. Making sure you are properly lined up with the runway and maintaining a consistent descent rate can help improve your accuracy in this phase of the landing. Additionally, focusing on your landing flare technique can help you achieve a smoother touchdown.
In terms of bank angle stability during landing, it's important to maintain a steady approach angle and avoid excessive over-correction. Practicing coordinated turns and maintaining a consistent bank angle throughout the landing process can help improve your stability.
Moving on to the Touchdown Phase, the fact that the touchdown rate was very hard indicates that you may need to work on your flare technique and smooth out your touchdown. Ensuring that you are transitioning from the flare to touchdown smoothly can help reduce the impact on landing and improve your overall landing technique.
The high speed during touchdown suggests that you may need to focus on managing your airspeed throughout the landing process. Making small adjustments to your throttle control and monitoring your speed closely can help you achieve a smoother and more controlled landing.
Lastly, the touchdown point being beyond the designated zone and the runway touchdown position being off-center can be improved by practicing your aiming and alignment during the landing approach. Taking the time to properly line up with the runway and maintain centerline alignment can help you improve your overall accuracy in landing.
Overall, while your current landing score may not be as high as you would like, I want to encourage you to keep practicing and focusing on specific areas for improvement. By working on your approach, flare technique, speed management, and alignment, you can make significant strides in enhancing your aircraft landing skills. Remember, every landing is a learning opportunity, and with dedication and practice, you can continue to improve and achieve your landing goals. Keep up the hard work and you will see progress!
