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 1,753 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,753 m of the 3,326 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 439 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Congratulations on achieving a fantastic aircraft landing score of 99.3%! This is an incredible accomplishment and truly showcases your exceptional piloting skills.
In the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent, ensuring a smooth descent towards the runway. This is a critical aspect of a successful landing and it's clear that you executed it flawlessly.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, your threshold height was good and your landing flare was great. These factors contributed to a controlled and precise touchdown, setting the stage for a successful landing.
Despite a firm touchdown rate and slightly above target speed in the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone and runway touchdown position being 1.5 meters from the centerline are still remarkable achievements.
As you transitioned into the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was very good, further highlighting your skill and proficiency as a pilot.
Overall, your attention to detail and exceptional flying technique have paid off with an outstanding landing score. Keep up the great work and continue striving for excellence in every aspect of your flying. Well done!
