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 2,201 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,201 m of the 3,411 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 932 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 86.8% indicates that you have performed well in most aspects of the landing process. Let's break down the specific phases of the landing and provide some feedback to help you improve even further.
During the Approach Phase, it's great to hear that you had good glideslope alignment. This shows that you were able to maintain the correct descent angle towards the runway, which is crucial for a safe and smooth landing. Keep up the good work in this area.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it seems that there are a couple of areas that could use some improvement. Firstly, having the threshold height above target is something to be mindful of, as hitting the correct touchdown point on the runway is important for a safe landing. Additionally, it's noted that there was a very poor landing flare, which could have contributed to the threshold height issue. Remember to maintain a proper flare to ensure a smoother touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, it's positive to see that your touchdown rate was good and your speed was on target. These are crucial factors in achieving a safe and precise landing. However, the fact that the touchdown point was 511m beyond the designated zone is something to work on. Try to practice judging your approach and touchdown point more accurately.
Lastly, during the Rollout Phase, it's mentioned that your runway alignment was slightly off, being 6.7m from the centerline. This is a minor deviation, but it's important to strive for more precise alignment to improve overall landing performance.
Overall, your landing score of 86.8% is a solid result, but there are areas for improvement. Focus on maintaining proper descent angles, executing a smooth landing flare, and accurately judging your touchdown point to enhance your landing capabilities. Keep up the good work and continue to practice and refine your skills to achieve even better scores in the future. You're on the right track!
