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 2,989 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 506 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, this landing showed great skill and precision in the Approach and Landing Phases. The glideslope alignment, heading alignment, and speed maintenance were all executed excellently. The threshold height and landing flare were also top-notch.
One area that could be improved upon is the distance of the touchdown. Keeping a closer eye on the runway markers and adjusting speed accordingly can help to ensure a smoother touchdown within the designated area. Additionally, making sure to continue monitoring runway alignment during the Rollout Phase can help to improve overall landing performance.
Recommendations for this landing would be to focus on maintaining consistent speed and approach angle throughout all phases of the landing. Practicing touchdown distance and runway alignment in various conditions can also help to enhance landing proficiency. Keep up the good work!
