What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 9.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 45 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, a distance of 6 nautical miles covered in 14 minutes. The departure roll took place on runway 08R, with a takeoff distance of 1,336 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 167 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of London Gatwick, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind of 10 knots at 129 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of Horley, Surrey, England, where the aircraft climbed from 1,227 feet above sea level to 6,459 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,232 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise 1 mile north-east of Dormansland, Surrey, England, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles. The next enroute climb started 1 mile south of Tonbridge, Kent, England, where the aircraft climbed from 6,944 feet above sea level to 22,364 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,420 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise 1 mile east of Brook, Kent, England, lasting 12 minutes and covering 87 nautical miles. The next enroute descent started 21 miles north-west of Domburg, Provincie Zeeland, The Netherlands, where the aircraft descended from 22,730 feet above sea level to 13,242 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,489 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise 15 miles north-west of Renesse, Provincie Zeeland, The Netherlands, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles. The next enroute descent started 8 miles north-west of Ouddorp, Provincie Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands, where the aircraft descended from 12,265 feet above sea level to 7,022 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,244 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise overhead Kwintsheul, Provincie Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles. The next enroute descent started 2 miles south-west of Voorschoten, Provincie Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands, where the aircraft descended from 6,277 feet above sea level to 3,130 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,146 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise 1 mile south of Kaag, Provincie Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands, lasting 3 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles. The next enroute descent started overhead Zwaanshoek, Provincie Noord-Holland, The Netherlands, where the aircraft descended from 3,170 feet above sea level to 2,269 feet above sea level, a decrease of 901 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise 1 mile north of EHLV Langeveld, Provincie Noord-Holland, The Netherlands, lasting 5 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the south-west, heading 58.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,462 feet
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 96.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 58.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,462 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions. The temperature was 11°C, and the wind was blowing at 18 knots from a direction of 60°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 18 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was good at 129 knots, and the touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 47 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -380 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing.
The total landing distance of 643 meters was only 20% of the runway length, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in executing a smooth and controlled landing. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and landing phases. The score of 96.9% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot in executing a safe and controlled landing.
