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 1,532 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,532 m of the 2,035 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,205 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 81.2% shows room for improvement but also highlights some strong points in your performance.
In the Approach Phase, there were issues with the descent path above the glideslope limit, poor heading alignment, and speed exceeding the target. These are crucial factors for a successful landing as they determine the stability and accuracy of your approach. I encourage you to work on maintaining a proper descent path, heading alignment, and speed control to improve your overall performance.
During the Landing Phase, your threshold height was above target and there were issues with the landing flare and bank angle stability. These are areas that require attention to ensure a smooth and safe touchdown. Focus on improving your flare technique and maintaining a stable bank angle during the landing phase to enhance your overall landing proficiency.
On a positive note, your touchdown rate was excellent and you managed a 13 kn crosswind well. This demonstrates your ability to handle challenging conditions effectively. Keep up the good work in managing crosswinds and strive to maintain consistency in your touchdown performance.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown speed was slightly above target and the touchdown point was very long, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was 10.0 m from the centerline. These factors indicate the need for improvement in touchdown accuracy and runway utilization. Aim to touchdown closer to the target point and centerline to optimize your landing efficiency.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was 9.2 m from the centerline. Pay attention to maintaining proper runway alignment during rollout to ensure a smooth and controlled landing sequence.
Overall, while there are areas for improvement in your landing performance, there are also strengths to build upon. Use this feedback to focus on refining your approach, landing technique, and touchdown accuracy. With dedication and practice, you can continue to enhance your skills and achieve even better landing scores in the future. Keep up the hard work and strive for excellence in all phases of your aircraft landings. Good job!
