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 1,597 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,597 m of the 2,797 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 981 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, this aircraft landing can be described as subpar and lacking in proper execution. The Approach Phase indicates that the descent path was not well controlled and the aircraft was above the glideslope limit. However, the heading alignment was good and the speed was maintained above target, which is a positive aspect.
During the Landing Phase, the threshold height was excessively high, indicating a late descent phase, and the landing flare was poorly executed. The Touchdown Phase reveals a hard touchdown rate and a slightly higher speed than desired. The touchdown point being significantly beyond the designated touchdown zone and off-center from the runway indicates poor precision during the landing.
In the Rollout Phase, the aircraft exhibited poor runway alignment, being significantly off-center from the runway centerline. This could pose safety concerns during taxiing and could potentially lead to runway incursions.
In conclusion, this aircraft landing demonstrates a series of errors and deviations from standard procedures. It is important for the flight crew to review and address these issues to improve their future landings and ensure the safety of all passengers and crew on board.
