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 152 m above the runway. The 305 m 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 2,434 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 132 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.98 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Great job on achieving a landing score of 91.1%! Your approach phase showed excellent glideslope alignment, indicating a steady and controlled descent towards the runway. The landing phase demonstrated a good landing flare and a threshold height below target, which are both crucial for a smooth touchdown.
However, there were some areas for improvement during the landing phase. The bank angle stability during landing was poor, suggesting some lateral instability. This is an important aspect to focus on for future landings.
In the touchdown phase, while the touchdown rate was very heavy, it's encouraging to see that the speed was only slightly above the target. Additionally, the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone is a positive indication of accuracy. It's worth noting that the runway touchdown position was 2.8 meters from the centerline, which could be adjusted to improve alignment in future landings.
During the rollout phase, the runway alignment was very good, showcasing good control during the post-touchdown phase of the landing process.
Overall, this score reflects a strong performance with areas for improvement. Keep up the good work on refining your skills and techniques, and continue to strive for even greater precision and consistency in your landings. Your attention to detail and dedication to improvement will undoubtedly lead to even higher scores in the future. Well done!
