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 2,170 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,170 m of the 3,731 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,124 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 84.7% shows room for improvement, but there are several positive aspects to take note of.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it is important to address the poor descent path above the glideslope limit. This is a crucial part of the landing process as it sets the stage for a successful touchdown. Make sure to pay close attention to altitude control during this phase to ensure a smoother transition into the Landing Phase.
Moving onto the Landing Phase, the fact that the threshold height was above target and the landing flare was very poor is something that can be improved with practice and focus. These are key elements in achieving a successful touchdown, so dedicating time to honing these skills will greatly benefit your overall landing performance.
Despite the areas for improvement, there were some positive aspects in the Touchdown Phase. The touchdown rate was smooth, speed was on target, and the touchdown point was well beyond the touchdown zone. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was very good, showing that you have the ability to execute certain aspects of the landing effectively.
However, it's important to note that landing with a 3 knot tailwind can be potentially dangerous and should be avoided whenever possible. Be mindful of wind conditions and always aim to land into the wind for a safer touchdown.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 5.0 meters from the centerline is something to work on for greater precision in landing. Keeping the aircraft aligned with the runway centerline will help ensure a smoother rollout and improve overall landing performance.
Overall, with dedication and practice, you can work towards improving your aircraft landing score. Focus on areas such as descent path control, landing flare technique, and runway alignment to enhance your overall performance. Keep positive and continue to strive for improvement in each phase of the landing process. Good luck!
