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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,644 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,644 m of the 3,282 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 509 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 24R at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,088 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 4 knots at 240 degrees, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 2 miles south east of Palma. The climb started from an altitude of 1,026 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 34,754 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,728 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 63 miles north east of Dellys, Algeria, and lasted for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 183 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 6 miles east of Besbes, Algeria, and lasted for 21 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 34,990 feet above sea level to 1,301 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,688 feet. The descent covered a distance of 120 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 09 at DTNH Enfidha - Hammamet International Airport was made from the west, heading 90.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 09 at DTNH Enfidha - Hammamet International Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 103 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed at 148 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -283 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 2 knots at 320 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,573 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 438 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 74 minutes. The aircraft used 3,524 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at DTNH Enfidha - Hammamet International Airport, achieving a score of 98.0%. The final approach to runway 09 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 148 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing conditions. The touchdown point was located 103 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 142 kt, which is a little faster than the ideal speed. The touchdown rate of -283 feet per minute was considered fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 2 kt from a direction of 320°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the tailwind component was 1 kt. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable landing.
The total landing distance was 1,573 meters, which is 48% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 98.0%. The minor deviations from the optimal landing conditions were not significant enough to impact the overall performance of the aircraft.
