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 1,819 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,819 m of the 3,034 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 927 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 89.7% is quite good and shows that you have a solid foundation in landing techniques. Let's break down the different phases of the landing and see where improvements can be made.
During the Approach Phase, you displayed excellent glideslope alignment, which is crucial for a safe and smooth landing. This indicates a good understanding of descent control and approach procedures.
In the Landing Phase, it is noted that the threshold height was slightly above target and the landing flare was very poor. It is important to work on achieving the correct threshold height to ensure the touchdown occurs at the intended point. Additionally, improving the landing flare can help in reducing the landing impact and ensuring a smoother touchdown.
Moving on to the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was smooth and the speed was on target, which is commendable. However, the touchdown point being 515m beyond the touchdown zone suggests the need for better judgment and precision during the landing phase. It is important to aim for touchdown within the designated zone to ensure safety and efficiency.
Furthermore, the runway touchdown position being 2.7m from the centreline indicates the need for better alignment during the touchdown phase. Precision in alignment is essential for safe and effective landings.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 3.1m from the centreline suggests the need for improved centerline tracking during rollout. Maintaining runway alignment is crucial for a smooth exit from the runway.
Overall, while your landing score is quite good, there are areas that can be improved upon to enhance your landing performance. Focus on achieving the correct threshold height, improving the landing flare, aiming for touchdown within the designated zone, and maintaining runway alignment for a more precise and efficient landing experience. Keep practicing and refining your landing techniques, and you will see further improvements in your scores. Keep up the good work!
