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 1,583 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,583 m of the 1,973 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,133 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
It seems like there were a few areas that could use some improvement in your aircraft landing performance. Let's break it down step by step.
First, during the Landing Phase, the threshold height was excessively over target. This means that you were descending too high above the runway when approaching for landing. It's important to work on adjusting your altitude to ensure a smoother descent for landing.
Additionally, the landing flare was very poor, which could have contributed to a heavier touchdown rate. The landing flare is crucial for a smooth touchdown, so practicing this technique can help improve your overall landing score.
Furthermore, poor landing heading and bank angle stability during landing can impact the overall control of the aircraft. It's essential to maintain a stable heading and bank angle to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
Moving on to the Touchdown Phase, it's great to see that your speed was on target. However, the touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This could indicate that you may be landing too late, which can increase the risk of overshooting the runway. Work on your approach and touchdown point to improve this aspect of your landing.
Additionally, the runway touchdown position was 9.6 m from the centerline, and the rollout phase runway alignment was 8.4 m from the centerline. This shows that there is room for improvement in aligning the aircraft with the centerline of the runway during touchdown and rollout.
Overall, while your landing score was 67.0%, there are clear areas for improvement in your landing technique. By practicing and focusing on adjusting your altitude, improving your landing flare, maintaining stable heading and bank angles, and working on your touchdown point and runway alignment, you can work towards achieving a smoother and more controlled landing. Keep up the hard work and dedication to improving your skills, and you'll see progress in no time. Good luck!
