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 1,683 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,683 m of the 2,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,086 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Great job on your aircraft landing with a score of 77.2%! While there were some areas that could use improvement, such as the poor descent path above the glideslope limit during the Approach Phase, I'm confident that with some adjustments, you can make even better landings in the future.
During the Landing Phase, it's important to focus on getting the threshold height closer to the target and improving the landing flare. However, I'm pleased to see that your touchdown rate was good and your speed was on target. Landing 663 m beyond the touchdown zone is not ideal, but landing with a 16 kn crosswind is definitely a challenging feat, so well done on that!
In the Touchdown Phase, I recommend working on getting the touchdown point closer to the designated zone and improving the alignment with the runway centreline. Despite the slight deviation, you managed to keep the touchdown position within 3.4 m from the centreline, which is impressive.
Lastly, during the Rollout Phase, I suggest focusing on improving the runway alignment to get closer to the centreline. Overall, you should be proud of your performance, as landing an aircraft is no easy task, especially with crosswinds and other factors at play. Keep practicing and making adjustments, and I have no doubt that your landings will continue to improve. Well done!
