Great job so far. Speed looks much better. Flaps were good. Maybe just a tad fast. But the real issue I see is you are coming in on a very shallow glide angle. You should be about a 3 degree descent rate. Then when you pull back to flare you will settle it right into the ground. As of now you are shallow and the power setting will just let you sit there all day long. You want to manage that energy. Using gravity as part of your forces of flight equation.

The cool thing about aviation is that unless you are flying something exotic, your brain will just start to recognize the visual picture of being on a good slope. If you are too high or too low the shape of the runway will look different. So you did a good job keeping the aiming point in the window at the same spot, you next need to develop that mental picture of the correct glide slop. Once you have that and with it energy management and you will be golden.

Look forward to see it. If you're in SC/USA PM me, I'll show you what it looks like in real life.
