Shorten the long landing
Not the biggest loss in points — the one thing on this flight a check pilot would raise first, and the guide passage for it.
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 6,095 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,095 ft of the 10,476 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 4,987 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 77.5% shows that there are areas for improvement in your approach, landing, and touchdown phases. While there were some good aspects in each phase, such as a fair touchdown rate and a good runway touchdown position, there were also several areas that need attention.
In the Approach Phase, it is crucial to maintain the correct descent path and speed in order to stay within glideslope limits. It seems like the descent path was poor and the speed was too high, which can affect the overall stability of the aircraft during landing. I encourage you to work on maintaining the correct descent path and speed to improve your approach phase.
In the Landing Phase, there were issues with the threshold height being excessively over target, a very poor landing flare, and poor bank angle stability during landing. These factors can greatly affect the smoothness and control of the landing. Focus on practicing proper landing techniques, including a smooth flare and maintaining stable bank angles to achieve a better landing score.
In the Touchdown Phase, while the touchdown rate and speed were on target, the touchdown point being 3556 ft beyond the touchdown zone is a significant distance. It is important to work on improving your touchdown accuracy to land within the designated zone. Additionally, although the runway touchdown position was good, continue to strive for improvement in precision and consistency.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, it is encouraging to see that the runway alignment was very good. This indicates that you have good control during the rollout after landing. Keep up the good work in maintaining proper runway alignment to ensure a safe and successful landing.
Overall, with dedication and practice, you can work on improving your aircraft landing score and strive for even better performance in each phase of the landing process. Remember to focus on maintaining correct descent path, speed, landing techniques, and touchdown accuracy to achieve a smoother and more precise landing. Keep up the good work and continue to strive for excellence in your aircraft landings.
