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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,045 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,285 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 3.41 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
While your aircraft landing score of 66.6% may seem discouraging, there are several areas where improvements can be made to achieve a higher score in the future.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it is important to maintain the descent path within the glideslope limit and ensure that speed is controlled to prevent it from becoming excessively high. This will help in setting up a smoother transition into the Landing Phase.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is crucial to focus on bringing the threshold height down closer to the target and improving the landing flare technique. By doing so, you can achieve a more controlled and precise touchdown.
During the Touchdown Phase, attention should be paid to the touchdown rate and speed to avoid heavy landings. Additionally, ensuring that the touchdown point is within the designated zone and aligning the aircraft properly with the runway centreline will contribute to a smoother touchdown without bouncing.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, maintaining runway alignment closer to the centreline will help in improving overall landing performance.
Overall, by addressing these specific areas of improvement and practicing consistently, you can work towards achieving a higher landing score in future attempts. Remember to focus on proper technique, speed control, and alignment to enhance the overall quality of your landings. Keep practicing and refining your skills, and you will see improvements over time. Keep up the good work and stay focused on your goals!
