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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,276 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,276 m of the 3,748 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 783 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, the Boeing 777-300 taxied 2 nm to runway 23 in 14 minutes before taking off. The takeoff roll measured 1,941 m, 60 % of the available runway, and the aircraft achieved a liftoff speed of 198 kt. Local conditions were 30 °C with a 10 kt wind from 280°, producing an 8 kt crosswind and a 6 kt headwind.
The flight profile included a climb from 1,597 ft to 32,839 ft over 119 nm in 19 minutes, followed by a 182-minute cruise covering 1,371 nm. Subsequent climbs and descents were executed at high altitudes: a 3-minute climb from 31,837 ft to 33,735 ft over 28 nm, a 5-minute climb from 34,791 ft to 38,936 ft over 43 nm, and a 13-minute descent from 39,871 ft to 13,016 ft over 83 nm. The aircraft also performed a 10-minute descent from 13,021 ft to 1,303 ft over 38 nm before final approach.
Landing at Incheon International Airport on runway 15R, the aircraft touched down 379 m beyond the touchdown zone at 127 kt, with a touchdown rate of -234 fpm and a misalignment of 6.8 m from the centreline. The touchdown occurred 2,207 m from the threshold, 59 % of the runway length, and the rollout alignment was described as very good. After a 12-minute taxi to the parking, the total flight covered 6,378 nm, consuming 109,508 kg of fuel.
Final approach to runway 15R at RKSI Incheon International Airport commenced from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 145.0° at 4 nm and 1,254 ft agl. The touchdown point was 379 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 127 kt, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was fair at -234 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.8 m from the centreline.
The aircraft landed on runway 15R, which has a length of 3,754 m. The threshold height at 61 ft agl was above target, while the threshold speed was good at 135 kt. Total landing distance was 2,207 m, representing 59 % of the runway. Runway rollout alignment was very good. Local weather conditions were 25 °C with a wind of 19 kt at 240°, a crosswind of 18 kt and a tailwind of 2 kt.
