Track the centreline
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 8.4 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 7.1 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: centreline 1.4° off, against a 1° limit and wings 15° of bank, against a 10° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 2.1° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,076 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 28 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The FSReborn Phenom 300E Oberon taxied from the parking area to runway 30 at EKVG Vágar Airport, a taxi-out that lasted 15 minutes and covered 6 nm.
The departure roll on runway 30 used 585 m of runway, representing 33 % of the available length, and the aircraft lifted off at 126 kt. Local conditions were temperature 12 °C, wind 11 kt from 340 °, with a 7 kt crosswind component and an 8 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead Sorvagur (Vaga Sysla, Faroe Islands), rising from 1,283 ft asl to 44,416 ft asl - an increase of 43,133 ft - in 18 minutes while covering 110 nm.
The first level cruise began 63 miles east of Hvannasund (Nordoyar sysla, Faroe Islands) and continued for 18 minutes, during which 236 nm were flown.
Descent phase one started 36 miles north-west of Raudeberg (Vestland, Norway), descending from 44,670 ft asl to 30,490 ft asl - a loss of 14,180 ft - in 7 minutes and covering 50 nm.
A second level cruise was initiated overhead Haddal (More og Romsdal fylke, Norway), lasting 5 minutes and encompassing 35 nm.
Descent phase two began 4 miles east of Vatne (More og Romsdal fylke, Norway), dropping from 30,489 ft asl to 1,323 ft asl - a decrease of 29,166 ft - in 18 minutes while traveling 81 nm.
The final approach to runway 24 at ENAL Ålesund Airport, Vigra, was flown from the north-east on a heading of 245.0° at 4 nm and 1,265 ft agl.
Landing on runway 24, which is 2,076 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 102 kt. Touchdown was recorded 26 m down the runway at 101 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 232 fpm and a lateral deviation of 8.2 m from the centreline. Local weather reported temperature 13 °C, wind 10 kt from 253 °, a 2 kt crosswind and a 10 kt headwind. Total landing distance was 530 m, representing 26 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 523 nm, required 75 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 642 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 24 at ENAL Ålesund Airport, Vigra was conducted from the north-east on a heading of 245.0° at 4 nm and 1,265 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 102 kt. The flare produced a touchdown distance of 26 m from the runway threshold and the aircraft was configured appropriately for landing.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 101 kt, which was rated good, with a vertical rate of minus 232 fpm assessed as fair. The touchdown point was misaligned by 8.2 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 530 m, representing 26 % of the 2,076 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good. Local weather was 13 °C with wind 10 kt from 253°, providing a 10 kt headwind and a 2 kt crosswind component.
To refine the already strong performance, focus on reducing the lateral deviation at touchdown to keep the aircraft closer to the centreline, and work on controlling the descent rate to achieve a smoother vertical profile. Maintaining these adjustments will help convert the fair touchdown rate into a consistently good rating.
