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 2,294 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,294 m of the 3,017 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,081 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Great job on the approach phase with good glideslope alignment! This shows that your skills in maintaining the correct angle for descent are on point. However, we do need to work on the landing phase. The threshold height being significantly above target indicates that there is room for improvement in setting up the right approach angle before touchdown. Additionally, the poor landing flare and bank angle stability during landing suggest that there may be some issues with control and precision in those critical moments.
Moving on to the touchdown phase, while your touchdown rate was firm and speed was on target, there are areas that need attention. The touchdown point being 500 m beyond the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position 17.0 m from the centerline indicate that more focus is needed on accurately hitting your mark upon landing.
Lastly, in the rollout phase, the runway alignment being 17.6 m from the centerline showcases the need for better control and alignment as you navigate the aircraft after touchdown.
Overall, while there are areas that need improvement, it is important to remember that every landing is an opportunity to learn and grow as a pilot. Keep practicing, stay focused on precision and control, and I have no doubt that your aircraft landing score will improve. Keep up the hard work!
