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.
Touched down 555 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 73.2% shows that there is room for improvement in certain areas. However, it's important to remember that every landing is a learning opportunity and with practice and focus, your skills can continue to improve.
In the Approach Phase, focus on maintaining a steady descent path and heading alignment to ensure a smoother transition into the Landing Phase. Pay close attention to your speed, making sure it aligns with the target to set yourself up for a successful touchdown.
During the Landing Phase, aim to hit the threshold at the target height and improve your landing flare for a smoother touchdown. While your touchdown rate was good, keep working on your speed control to ensure a more precise landing within the designated zone.
In the Touchdown Phase, try to reduce the distance beyond the touchdown zone and work on aligning your runway touchdown position closer to the centerline for better precision. Consistency in these areas will help in achieving a more controlled and accurate touchdown.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, focus on improving your runway alignment by staying closer to the centerline for a smoother rollout.
It's clear that you have some strong aspects of your landing technique, such as a good touchdown rate. By addressing the specific areas for improvement mentioned above and continuing to practice and refine your skills, you can work towards achieving higher landing scores in the future. Keep up the hard work and dedication, and each landing will become an opportunity to showcase your progress and growth as a pilot. Well done on your efforts so far, and keep flying high!
