Next time
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 11 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 9.8 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: wings 20° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 33 kt FAST on the reference speed of 125 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,509 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 357 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 08 at MMVA Carlos Rovirosa Pérez International Airport. The taxi-out required 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 08, using 989 m of runway, which represents 45 % of the available length. Liftoff was achieved at 144 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 26 °C, wind 2 kt from 89°, with a 2 kt headwind component and zero crosswind.
Climb began overhead MMVA, climbing from 979 ft asl to 40 477 ft asl, an increase of 39 498 ft achieved in 44 minutes while covering 334 nm.
Level cruise was established 5 miles southeast of Armenia in El Salvador and persisted for 178 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 1 401 nm.
Descent commenced 11 miles east of Cajaruro, Peru, descending from 41 026 ft asl to 9 708 ft asl, a loss of 31 318 ft in 15 minutes and covering 105 nm.
The final approach to runway 34 at SPJR Mayor General FAP Armando Revoredo Iglesias Airport was flown from the southeast on a heading of 344.0°, intercepting the glide path at 3 nm and 900 ft agl.
Landing was executed on runway 34, which is 2 509 m long. The threshold speed was 125 kt; touchdown occurred 356 m down the runway at a speed of 119 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 61 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 10.2 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 11 °C, wind 1 kt from 359°, providing a 1 kt headwind and no crosswind.
The total landing distance recorded was 791 m, representing 32 % of the runway. During rollout the aircraft remained slightly off centreline by 9.8 m.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1 844 nm, taking 242 and used 9 799 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 approached runway 34 at SPJR Mayor General FAP Armando Revoredo Iglesias Airport from the south east on a heading of 344.0° at 3 NM and 900 ft AGL. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1 000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Local weather was 11 °C with wind 1 kt from 359°, crosswind 0 kt and headwind 1 kt.
The threshold speed was good at 125 kt and the aircraft touched down 356 m from the threshold, a distance judged good. Touchdown speed was 119 kt, noted as a little fast, while the vertical rate at touchdown was excellent at minus 61 fpm. The runway length is 2 509 m and the threshold height was good.
The touchdown point was misaligned by 10.2 m from the centreline and the total landing distance measured 791 m, representing 32 % of the runway. The aircraft remained within the runway limits throughout the landing.
During rollout the aircraft was slightly misaligned by 9.8 m from the centreline.
Refine lateral alignment to reduce the 10.2 m centreline offset at touchdown and the 9.8 m offset during rollout. Slightly reducing the touchdown speed from 119 kt will also help achieve a more precise aim point. Overall performance earned a score of 95.5%.
