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 1,654 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,654 m of the 3,728 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 546 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, this aircraft landing was executed with a high level of skill and precision. The Approach Phase showed exceptional glideslope and heading alignment, with only a slight deviation in speed. The Landing Phase was also well-executed, with a good threshold height and perfect landing flare. The Touchdown Phase had a good touchdown rate and speed control, but the distance was slightly long and the runway alignment was fair during the Rollout Phase.
To improve for future landings, it is recommended to work on maintaining speed closer to the target during the Approach Phase, and to focus on reducing the landing distance during the Touchdown Phase. Additionally, ensuring precise runway alignment throughout all phases of the landing will help to further improve overall performance. Keep up the good work and continue to practice and refine your skills for even smoother landings in the future!
