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 full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 253 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Great job on your recent aircraft landing! While there were some areas where your performance was below target, there were also several aspects where you excelled.
In the Landing Phase, it's fantastic that your threshold height was below target and that your landing flare was fair. However, it's important to improve your landing heading for better precision.
Moving on to the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was good and speed was on target, which is a crucial aspect of a successful landing. Additionally, landing inside the touchdown zone and having a runway touchdown position of 44.3 m from the centerline shows good control and accuracy. Moreover, handling a 10 kn crosswind during landing is impressive and demonstrates your skill in challenging conditions.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, maintaining a runway alignment 50.5 m from the centerline is an area where you can improve to further enhance your landing performance.
Overall, your landing score of 70.9% suggests that you have a solid foundation but there is always room for growth and improvement. Keep up the good work, continue practicing, and focusing on areas that need improvement to become an even better pilot. Well done on your recent landing!
