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 2,137 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,137 m of the 2,964 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 924 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Firstly, congratulations on an overall aircraft landing score of 78.2%! While there were some areas for improvement, it's clear that you have a solid foundation to build upon. Let's break down the analysis of the different phases of the landing:
In the Approach Phase, it's noted that the descent path was above the glideslope limit and the speed was slightly above target. This suggests a need for better adherence to established guidelines for descent and speed control. By focusing on precision in these areas, you can ensure a smoother transition into the Landing Phase.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's highlighted that the threshold height was excessively over target and the landing flare was very poor. Improving on these aspects, such as maintaining proper height and executing a controlled flare, can significantly enhance the quality of your landings. Consistency and practice in these techniques will lead to more successful outcomes.
In the Touchdown Phase, the analysis points out that the touchdown rate was hard, the speed was slightly above target, and the touchdown point was 517 meters beyond the designated zone. While there were challenges in this phase, the fact that the runway touchdown position was very good is a positive note. Working on adjusting your approach for a softer touchdown and better alignment with the designated zone will contribute to smoother landings.
Lastly, the Rollout Phase is commended for having a very good runway alignment. This indicates that your ability to maintain control and direction during the rollout is a strength. Building on this foundation, further refinement in other areas of the landing process will result in an even more successful overall performance.
Overall, this detailed analysis serves as a valuable tool for identifying specific areas for improvement in your aircraft landings. By approaching each phase with focused practice and attention to detail, you can enhance your overall performance and strive for even better scores in the future. Keep up the dedication and hard work – success is within reach!
