What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was excessively high at 88 kn. at 38 %, −1.71 points
Arrival Touchdown — Speed at touchdown 77 kn at 69 %, Runway alignment max 28.2 ft at 76 %, −1.25 points
Departure Climb 3 — bank angle up to 10.5 ° at 78 %, −0.30 points

Top opportunity

Keep the approach speed on target

Arrival Landing

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.
