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 2,850 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,850 m of the 4,121 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,147 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
While your aircraft landing score of 75.9% is below the ideal mark, there is room for improvement and growth in each phase of the landing process.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it is crucial to focus on maintaining a descent path within the glideslope limit to ensure a smooth transition into the Landing Phase. By adjusting your descent path, you can enhance the overall approach and set a strong foundation for a successful landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is evident that there were some areas that need attention. To improve the threshold height and landing flare, it is important to practice precision and control during the final moments of the landing process. Additionally, working on maintaining a stable bank angle can help in achieving a smoother touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, it is encouraging to see that the touchdown rate and speed were on target. However, the touchdown point being beyond the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position not aligned with the centerline indicate a need for better positioning and alignment. Focus on refining your touchdown technique to ensure a more precise and accurate landing.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, improving the runway alignment by bringing it closer to the centerline can enhance the overall landing performance. By staying attentive to maintaining alignment during the rollout, you can further elevate your landing score.
Overall, with a positive mindset and a commitment to continuous improvement, you can work towards enhancing your aircraft landing skills and achieving a higher score in the future. Remember to practice diligently and pay attention to each phase of the landing process to refine your technique and strive for excellence. Keep up the hard work and stay determined in your pursuit of perfection in aircraft landings.
