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 1,731 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,731 m of the 2,685 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 431 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Congratulations on an excellent landing score of 96.8%! Your approach phase was particularly impressive, with excellent glideslope alignment and just a slightly below target speed. This shows great precision and attention to detail.
Moving on to the landing phase, your performance was commendable with good threshold height and a perfect landing flare. While the touchdown rate was a bit hard, you managed to keep the speed on target and landed within the touchdown zone. It's also worth noting that your runway touchdown position was just 5.2 meters from the centerline, indicating good control and alignment.
However, it's important to address the fact that you landed with an 8 knot tailwind, which can increase the difficulty of the landing and pose a safety risk. In the future, try to avoid landing with tailwinds to ensure a safer and smoother landing.
Lastly, the rollout phase also demonstrated skill with a runway alignment of 4.9 meters from the centerline. Overall, your performance was impressive, but there is always room for improvement. Keep up the great work and continue to strive for excellence in your landings. With a few adjustments, you'll undoubtedly reach even higher scores in the future. Great job!
