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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 434 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Congratulations on achieving a landing score of 96.8%! Overall, your performance was very strong, with excellent execution in many key areas.
In the Approach Phase, it's important to maintain a descent path within the glideslope limit to ensure a safe and smooth landing. While there was some deviation in this aspect, it's a minor issue that can be easily addressed with practice and concentration.
During the Landing Phase, you demonstrated great skill in maintaining a good threshold height and executing a smooth landing flare. However, there was some instability in bank angle during the landing, which could be improved with more focus on maintaining a steady aircraft position.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was firm, which suggests good control over the aircraft, and your speed was slightly above target, but still within an acceptable range. The fact that the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone is a positive sign of precision in your landing approach. Additionally, your runway touchdown position was very good, indicating a high level of accuracy in aligning the aircraft with the runway.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, maintaining runway alignment is crucial for a safe landing. Your performance in this area was very good, showing a strong command over the aircraft during the final stages of the landing process.
Overall, your landing score reflects a high level of skill and competence as a pilot. With a few minor adjustments and continued practice, you have the potential to consistently achieve even higher scores in the future. Keep up the great work and continue striving for excellence in all phases of aircraft landing. Well done!
