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 298 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 298 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 13 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.79 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, your landing showed some areas of improvement but also some positive aspects. In the Approach Phase, you demonstrated good heading alignment and speed control, which is a crucial foundation for a successful landing. However, the unstable rate of descent could be addressed by practicing more precise control during this phase.
During the Landing Phase, it's important to note that the threshold height was too low and the landing flare was poor, leading to an unstable landing. Working on maintaining a proper flare and height above the runway during this phase will help improve future landings.
In the Touchdown Phase, it's evident that the touchdown rate was heavy and the speed was fast. Focusing on a smoother touchdown and controlling speed more effectively can help reduce the impact on landing. Additionally, improving runway alignment and avoiding bouncing on touchdown will contribute to a more controlled and stable landing.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, while the runway alignment was fair, there is still room for improvement in maintaining a straight course after touchdown. By practicing consistent runway alignment during rollout, you can enhance the overall quality of your landings.
Keep practicing and focusing on these key areas, and you will see improvement in your future landings. Remember that each landing is an opportunity to learn and grow as a pilot. Keep up the good work!
