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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 429 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 2.55 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
While your aircraft landing score of 76.9% is a bit below target, there are still many positive aspects to take away from your performance. Your approach phase may have had some instability with the glideslope alignment, but it's a great opportunity to focus on improving your precision in this area during future landings.
During the landing phase, you may have experienced some challenges with the threshold height and landing flare, as well as bank angle stability. These are all areas that can be worked on and improved upon with practice and focus on developing your skills.
In the touchdown phase, it's important to note that your touchdown rate was heavy, but your speed was on target and you were able to touch down within the touchdown zone. This shows that you have the capability to achieve a successful landing, and with some adjustments to your technique, you can strive for even smoother touch downs in the future.
It's important to address the fact that you landed with a 17 kn tailwind, as this can significantly impact the safety and efficiency of the landing. It's crucial to always prioritize safety by ensuring that you are landing in the most optimal conditions possible.
In the rollout phase, runway alignment may have been slightly off, but with continued practice and attention to detail, you can improve your ability to maintain proper alignment with the runway during this phase of the landing.
Overall, it's important to celebrate the aspects of your landing that were successful and to use the areas that need improvement as learning opportunities. With dedication and determination, you can work towards achieving higher landing scores in the future. Keep up the hard work and continue striving for excellence in your aircraft landings!
