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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,594 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 371 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 96.4%! Your performance during each phase of the landing was commendable, and with a few minor adjustments, you will surely reach perfection in no time.
During the Approach Phase, your descent path was slightly below the glideslope limit, which could be improved by making small corrections to your approach angle. Additionally, your speed was a little below the target, so focusing on maintaining a consistent speed throughout the approach will help enhance your overall performance.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, your threshold height was good, and your landing flare was executed perfectly. This indicates that you have a solid understanding of the timing and techniques required for a smooth touchdown. However, your touchdown rate was considered fair, so practicing your timing and technique during this phase will further refine your skills.
In the Touchdown Phase, your speed was on target, and your touchdown distance fell comfortably within the touchdown zone. These are both positive indicators of your precision and control during the critical moment of landing. Furthermore, your runway touchdown position was only 5.9 meters from the centerline, showcasing your ability to maintain alignment with the runway.
Lastly, during the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was slightly off at 6.3 meters from the centerline. This can easily be improved by focusing on maintaining a straight path during the rollout and making small corrections as needed.
Overall, your landing performance was impressive, and with continued practice and attention to detail, you will undoubtedly see an increase in your landing score. Keep up the great work, and remember to stay focused and determined as you strive for perfection in each phase of the landing process. Your skill and dedication will surely take you far in your aviation career. Well done!
