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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,615 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,615 m of the 2,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 363 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 04 at Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG). The takeoff distance was 803 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 133 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 50 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Ferney-Voltaire in France, where the aircraft ascended from 2,402 feet above sea level to 31,403 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,001 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Zell in Switzerland and lasted for 9 minutes, covering 81 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 2 miles east of Bisingen in Germany, where it descended from 31,437 feet above sea level to 10,395 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,042 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile north of Hockenheim in Germany and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 23 nautical miles.
The final descent started overhead Gundheim in Germany, where the aircraft descended from 10,393 feet above sea level to 1,552 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,840 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 07L at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) from the southwest, heading 70 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,202 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 07L at EDDF was successful, with a touchdown distance of 363 meters and a touchdown speed of 121 knots, which was slightly faster than the threshold speed. The touchdown rate was good at -159 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 50 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,531 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 287 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 49 minutes. The aircraft used 834 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 07L at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 98.4%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 70.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,202 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway with a threshold speed of 125 knots, which was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown distance of 363 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 121 knots was slightly faster than expected, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -159 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the touchdown rate was still considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.6 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a minor error in navigation. However, this deviation did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,531 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown. Overall, the landing performance of aircraft C750 was satisfactory, with a score of 98.4% indicating a high level of proficiency and control.
