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 2,297 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,297 m of the 3,520 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,613 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, it sounds like there were some challenges during the different phases of the aircraft landing. However, there were also some positive aspects such as good heading alignment and being slightly above the target speed during the Approach Phase and hitting the target speed on touchdown during the Touchdown Phase.
To improve the landing performance, here are some recommendations: - Work on maintaining a descent path within the glideslope limits during the Approach Phase to ensure a smooth and controlled descent. - Focus on lowering the threshold height and improving the landing flare technique to achieve a smoother touchdown during the Landing Phase. - Pay attention to runway alignment and avoid bouncing on touchdown during the Touchdown Phase. - Improve runway alignment during the Rollout Phase to ensure a safe and efficient landing.
With some practice and adjustments, these areas of improvement can help enhance the overall landing performance of the aircraft. Remember, continuous learning and improvement are key in mastering the art of aircraft landing. Keep up the good work!
