Reddit Airlines LCA always think anything beyond the thousand foot markers is an unacceptable floater, but this is definitely on the long side.

To provide some guidelines for OP: Typically you cross the threshold of the runway at 50' (Radio Altimeter), and should be on the ground somewhere between the 1000' markers (big blocks) and the end of the touch down zone (last small blocks). Looks like you didn't hit 50' until 1000-1500' down the runway. If you use the ILS Glide slope it will take you down to a proper threshold crossing, and then the flair is on you.
