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.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,033 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 338 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 2.80 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
While a landing score of 74.5% may not be ideal, it's important to acknowledge the areas that can be improved upon in order to achieve a higher score in the future.
During the Approach Phase, it was noted that the descent path was above the glideslope limit. This indicates that adjustments need to be made to ensure a smoother descent and a more accurate approach to the runway.
In the Landing Phase, the threshold height was significantly above the target and the landing flare was poor. Working on maintaining a consistent threshold height and mastering the landing flare technique will result in smoother and more accurate landings.
The Touchdown Phase also presents some areas for improvement, with a very heavy touchdown rate and a slightly elevated speed. Focusing on achieving a softer touchdown and maintaining the recommended landing speed will contribute to a more controlled and precise landing.
Additionally, the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone and runway touchdown position being 7.4 m off the centerline suggest the need for better alignment and accuracy during the touchdown phase.
In the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 15.1 m off the centerline indicates the need for greater precision in maintaining the aircraft's track upon landing.
Overall, while there are areas for improvement in each phase of the landing process, it's important to view this feedback as an opportunity for growth and development as a pilot. By practicing and honing in on specific skills related to descent, approach, landing, and rollout, you can work towards achieving a higher landing score in the future. Keep a positive attitude and continue to strive for excellence in each phase of the landing process. Your dedication and commitment to improvement will ultimately lead to greater success in your future landings.
