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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,908 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,908 m of the 3,474 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,028 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Phenom 300E taxied from the parking area to runway 17 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, a movement that lasted 11 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 17, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 2,590 m, representing 79 % of the runway, and lifted off at 118 kt. Local weather reported temperature 27 °C, wind 15 kt from 160°, with a 5 kt crosswind component and a 14 kt headwind.
Climb commenced 1 mile west of Biny Selo, with the aircraft climbing from 391 ft asl to 24,003 ft asl, an increase of 23,612 ft achieved in 6 minutes while covering 29 nm.
Level cruise began 1 mile south-west of Khirdalan and was maintained for 10 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 74 nm.
Descent started 7 miles west of Aghsu, descending from 23,913 ft asl to 2,424 ft asl, a loss of 21,489 ft in 13 minutes over a distance of 50 nm.
The final approach to runway 16 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport was flown from the north on a heading of 167.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,292 ft agl. The aircraft then descended from 1,345 ft agl to 65 ft agl in 120 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gates.
Landing was executed on runway 16, which is 3,474 m long, with a threshold speed of 114 kt. Touchdown occurred 603 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 96 kt and a vertical rate of minus 115 fpm; the touchdown point was offset 8.2 m from the centreline. Local conditions were temperature 24 °C, wind 5 kt from 230°, with a 5 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind. The total landing distance measured 1,818 m, representing 52 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was slightly off, with the aircraft tracking 7.8 m from the centreline during the deceleration phase.
After exiting the runway, the Phenom 300E taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 167 nm, lasted 45 minutes, and consumed 297 kg of fuel.
Phenom 300E, score 74.0 %, executed the final approach to runway 16 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport from the north on a heading of 167.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,292 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and the aircraft descended from 1,345 ft agl to 65 ft agl in 120 seconds.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 114 kt. Touchdown occurred 603 m beyond the touchdown zone with a good touchdown speed of 96 kt and a smooth touchdown rate of minus 115 fpm. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.2 m from the centreline.
The landing used a total distance of 1,818 m, representing 52 % of the 3,474 m runway, and was performed in temperature 24 °C with wind 5 kt at 230 °, giving a 5 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
Rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 m from the centreline.
Refine the aim point to approximately 300 m (1,000 ft) in to avoid the 603 m overshoot, and focus on maintaining centreline alignment through touchdown and rollout to reduce the 8 m and 8 m deviations.
