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 1,962 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,962 m of the 2,994 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 568 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Congratulations on achieving a impressive aircraft landing score of 97.9%! Your performance during the Approach Phase was particularly noteworthy, as you displayed excellent glideslope alignment. This ensured a smooth transition into the Landing Phase, where you maintained a good threshold height and executed a very good landing flare.
During the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was commendable and you managed to land at the targeted speed. Though the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated zone, your runway touchdown position was very good, showcasing your precise control.
It is important to note the tailwind component during the landing, as it can add complexity to the maneuver. Landing with a 3 kn tailwind is not ideal, but you were still able to execute a successful landing.
As you progressed into the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was very good, further demonstrating your skill and control during the landing process.
Overall, your performance was exceptional, with minor areas for improvement. Keep up the great work and continue to fine-tune your skills to maintain high landing scores in future flights. Your dedication and attention to detail are key factors in achieving such impressive results. Well done!
