Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to stop the drift as soon as it starts in the flare.
What happened: On the landing you drifted 22 ft off the centreline, and that kind of lateral drift usually carries through to a touchdown point 23 ft off centreline and into a rollout that is still skewed off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Heading indicator: track straight down the extended runway centreline through touchdown and rollout.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,744 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,600 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
KLAX Los Angeles International Airport served as the departure point for this Boeing 737-700 flight. Taxiing from the parking area to the designated runway, 25R, took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft began its departure roll, it accelerated down the 7,351-foot runway, eventually lifting off at a speed of 147 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 77°F, with a 14-knot headwind and a crosswind of just 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from KLAX, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 1,078 feet above sea level to 37,005 feet in just 19 minutes, covering a distance of 131 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a prolonged enroute level cruise, which lasted 159 minutes and spanned 880 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 36,414 feet to 9,043 feet in 14 minutes, covering 99 nautical miles. This was followed by a series of short level cruises, as the aircraft navigated through the Texas airspace. The final descent phase began 3 miles southwest of Waxahachie, Texas, and resulted in a touchdown on runway 31R at KDAL Dallas Love Field.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target value of 133 knots. The touchdown point was 216 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots and a rate of -154 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating 24 feet from the centerline. The total landing distance was 3,998 feet, accounting for 54% of the available runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,174 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 180 minutes and a fuel consumption of 14,425 pounds.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 31R at KDAL Dallas Love Field, marking a successful conclusion to the approach from the south east. The aircraft's descent was well-managed, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 133 kt. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 126 kt, but the touchdown rate of -154 fpm was satisfactory. The touchdown point was located 216 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 24 ft from the centreline, but this was quickly corrected during the rollout phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59 °F, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,998 ft was 54% of the available runway length, indicating a safe margin for stopping. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing performance was impressive, with a score of 97.5% reflecting the high standard of flying demonstrated by the crew.
