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 2,411 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 559 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Fantastic job on your aircraft landing score of 97.5%! Your performance during each phase of the landing was outstanding, showcasing your skills and expertise as a pilot.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was on point, setting the stage for a successful landing. This ensured a smooth transition into the Landing Phase, where you displayed excellent control over the aircraft with a good threshold height and a very impressive landing flare. Your precision in these crucial moments made all the difference in achieving such a high score.
Moving on to the Touchdown Phase, despite a slightly above target speed, your touchdown rate was good, demonstrating your ability to make calculated adjustments on the fly. The touchdown point being just 144 meters beyond the designated zone is commendable, and the runway touchdown position being very good underscores your attention to detail.
Even with an 11 knot crosswind, you managed the landing beautifully, showing your proficiency in handling challenging conditions. Your skill in adjusting for the crosswind contributed to the overall success of the landing.
As for the Rollout Phase, while the runway alignment was slightly off at 4.1 meters from the centerline, this minor deviation does not take away from the overall excellent performance you displayed throughout the landing.
Overall, your landing score of 97.5% is a testament to your dedication to excellence and your ability to maintain composure under pressure. Keep up the great work, and continue to strive for perfection in every aspect of your flying. You should be proud of your accomplishment and use it as motivation to reach even greater heights in your aviation career. Well done!
