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.

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 2,799 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,799 m of the 3,948 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,929 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
First of all, congratulations on achieving an aircraft landing score of 84.9%! This is a commendable achievement and a testament to your skills as a pilot.
Let's break down the different phases of the landing and analyze the performance:
Approach Phase: It seems that the descent path above the glideslope limit was a weak point in this phase. Maintaining the correct descent path is crucial for a smooth and safe landing. I encourage you to focus on better aligning the aircraft with the glideslope in future approaches.
Landing Phase: The threshold height being well above the target and a very poor landing flare are areas that need improvement. Landing at the correct threshold height is essential for a safe touchdown, and executing a proper landing flare helps ensure a smooth touchdown. Practice and attention to detail in these areas will help improve your overall landing performance.
Touchdown Phase: Despite the shortcomings in the previous phases, the touchdown rate being excellent and landing speed on target are notable achievements. However, the touchdown point being 1,503 m beyond the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position being 7.3 m from the centerline indicate room for improvement. Try to focus on precision and accuracy in landing the aircraft within the designated zones for a more efficient landing.
Rollout Phase: The runway alignment being off by 6.8 m from the centerline needs attention. Maintaining proper runway alignment is crucial for a safe taxi and rollout after landing. Paying close attention to aligning the aircraft with the centerline will help improve overall landing performance.
In conclusion, while your overall landing score of 84.9% is a positive outcome, there are specific areas that require attention and improvement. I encourage you to focus on refining your descent path, threshold height, landing flare, touchdown accuracy, and runway alignment in future landings. With practice and dedication, you can continue to enhance your skills and achieve even better landing scores. Keep up the good work and strive for excellence in every landing you make. Good luck!
