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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,876 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,354 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
While your aircraft landing score of 61.0% may not have been ideal, it is important to view this as an opportunity for growth and improvement. Your detailed analysis of the different phases of the landing provides valuable insight into areas that can be addressed in order to achieve a higher score in the future.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it is clear that improvements can be made in descent path, heading alignment, and speed control. By focusing on maintaining a proper descent path and heading alignment, as well as closely monitoring speed, you can set yourself up for a smoother transition into the Landing Phase.
In the Landing Phase, attention should be given to threshold height, landing flare, landing heading, and bank angle stability. By practicing proper landing techniques and ensuring a smooth and controlled approach, you can work towards a more precise and controlled touchdown.
Moving on to the Touchdown Phase, it is evident that there is room for improvement in touchdown rate, speed control, touchdown point, and runway touchdown position. By focusing on achieving a smoother touchdown, maintaining proper speed control, and aiming for a precise touchdown point, you can work towards a more successful landing.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, runway alignment should be a key focus. By ensuring accurate runway alignment, you can bring the aircraft to a safe and controlled stop.
Overall, while the landing score may not have been as high as desired, it is important to approach this feedback with a positive attitude and a determination to improve. By addressing the specific areas of weakness identified in the analysis, you can work towards achieving a higher score and becoming a more skilled and proficient pilot. Keep practicing, stay focused, and never be afraid to seek guidance or feedback from experienced instructors. With persistence and dedication, you can continue to grow and improve as a pilot.
