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 2,118 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,118 m of the 3,662 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,432 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 85.8% indicates that you have areas of strength in your approach and touchdown phases, but there are also some areas that can be improved upon. Let's break it down further:
In the Approach Phase, you had a descent path below the glideslope limit and your speed was slightly above target. While this shows that you were not perfectly on track during this phase, it is not a major cause for concern. With a bit of adjustment, you can easily improve your performance in this area.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you had good threshold height but a very poor landing flare. This means that while you were able to bring the aircraft down to the runway at the correct height, your flare technique needs some work. Focusing on this aspect of your landing approach will help you achieve a smoother touchdown in the future.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was perfect and your speed was on target. However, your touchdown point was 992 m beyond the touchdown zone and your runway touchdown position was 2.5 m from the centerline. This indicates that you may need to work on your aim and alignment during this critical phase of the landing process.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was 3.5 m from the centerline. While this is not a major deviation, improving your alignment during the rollout phase can help you maintain better control of the aircraft as you come to a complete stop.
Overall, your landing score of 85.8% shows that you have a solid foundation but there is room for improvement. By focusing on refining your approach, flare technique, aim, alignment, and touchdown point, you can work towards achieving even higher scores in your future landings. Keep up the good work and continue to practice and hone your skills to become a more proficient pilot.
