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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 446 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Great job on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 98.7%! Your approach phase showed excellent control with a descent path just slightly below the glideslope limit. Although your speed was slightly below target, it was nothing that can't be easily adjusted with a little practice.
The landing phase was where you really shined, with a good threshold height and a perfect landing flare. Your touchdown rate was right on point, and your speed was perfectly on target. It's also worth noting that you managed to touch down well within the touchdown zone, despite being a bit off the centreline.
However, there's a small room for improvement as you landed with a 4 kn tailwind, which can pose some challenges in terms of control and stopping distance. Additionally, your rollout phase could use a bit of fine-tuning, as you were slightly off alignment with the runway centreline.
Overall, your performance was outstanding, with just a few minor areas where you can focus on improving. Keep up the great work, and with a little more practice and attention to detail, you'll no doubt continue to excel in your aircraft landings. Well done!
