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 3,084 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 369 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Great job on your aircraft landing with a score of 92.7%! It's clear that you have a strong understanding of the different phases of landing and are able to identify areas for improvement.
In the Approach Phase, it's important to ensure that your descent path stays within the glideslope limit to ensure a smooth and safe landing. Additionally, paying close attention to your speed and aiming for the target speed will help improve your overall performance in this phase.
During the Landing Phase, it's great to see that you had a good landing flare, which is crucial for a soft and controlled touchdown. However, it's important to work on bringing the threshold height closer to the target to further enhance your landing technique.
In the Touchdown Phase, it's evident that there was some room for improvement with a very heavy touchdown rate. Focusing on a smoother touchdown will help reduce the stress on the aircraft and improve overall landing quality. Additionally, being mindful of tailwind conditions like the 18 kn tailwind you landed with is essential for safe operations.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, it's fantastic to see that your runway alignment was very good. Maintaining a straight path during rollout is key for safe taxiing and aircraft control after landing.
Overall, you've shown a strong understanding of the different phases of landing and have identified areas for improvement to continue honing your skills. Keep up the great work and continue practicing to further enhance your landing performance. Well done!
