Improve the taxi
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 first 1,524 m of the 1,667 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 460 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

Great job on your aircraft landing score of 97.3%! Let's break down your performance in each phase of the landing process.
During the Approach Phase, you displayed excellent glideslope alignment, which is crucial for a smooth and safe touchdown. Your attention to detail in maintaining the correct descent path is commendable and likely contributed to your high score.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's fantastic to hear that your threshold height was slightly above target and that you executed a perfect landing flare. This shows great precision and control during the critical moments before touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was good, and your speed was right on target. Additionally, it's impressive that you managed to touch down inside the touchdown zone, indicating a high level of accuracy and skill.
