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.

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 7,104 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 7,104 ft of the 10,247 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,321 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Great job on the aircraft landing overall, scoring 86.4%! While there were some areas that can be improved upon, there were also some commendable aspects to your performance.
In the Approach Phase, it's noted that the descent path was above the glideslope limit and the speed was slightly above the target. To improve in this phase, focus on maintaining a steady descent path and ensuring you hit the target speed for a smoother approach.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, the threshold height was above target and the landing flare was very poor. Work on refining your landing technique to achieve a better threshold height and smoother flare for a more precise and controlled landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was firm but the speed was on target. However, the touchdown point was quite far beyond the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position was off centerline. Keep practicing to achieve a softer touchdown within the designated zone and centerline for a more precise landing.
Despite these areas for improvement, it's worth noting that you handled a 14 knot crosswind well, which is no easy feat. Way to go on managing that challenging landing condition effectively!
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was slightly off centerline. Focus on maintaining better alignment for a smoother rollout and taxi to the gate.
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 86.4% is a solid achievement. Keep working on refining your techniques and paying attention to the details in each phase to continue improving your overall performance. Keep up the great work!
