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 2,547 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,547 m of the 3,048 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,331 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
While your aircraft landing score of 74.8% may not be where you want it to be, there are several positive aspects of your landing that we can build upon. Let's break down each phase of the landing and identify areas for improvement.
In the Approach Phase, we noticed that your descent path was above the glideslope limit and your speed was too high. To improve your approach, focus on maintaining a stable descent path and ensuring that your speed is within the target range. This will help you set up for a smoother landing.
During the Landing Phase, we observed that your threshold height was well above the target and there was a very poor landing flare. To enhance your landing technique, work on reducing your threshold height and practicing your landing flare to achieve a smoother touchdown. These adjustments will help you improve your overall landing performance.
In the Touchdown Phase, we commend you for achieving an excellent touchdown rate and maintaining the target speed. However, landing approximately 896 m beyond the touchdown zone and 5.1 m off the runway centreline suggest room for improvement. Aim to touch down within the designated zone and strive for better alignment with the runway centreline to enhance your landing accuracy.
Moving on to the Rollout Phase, we noted that your runway alignment was 4.5 m off the centreline. Focus on maintaining a straight path during rollout to improve your alignment with the runway centreline.
Overall, there are areas for improvement in each phase of the landing process. By practicing your approach, landing technique, touchdown accuracy, and runway alignment, you can work towards achieving a higher landing score. Remember to stay focused and keep practicing, as consistent effort will lead to progress and improved performance. Keep up the good work and strive for continuous growth in your aircraft landing skills. You've got this!
