What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 16 ft 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,638 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,638 ft of the 10,152 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,724 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo. The takeoff distance was 5,121 feet, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 81°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 154°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Machico, Madeira, Portugal, and ascended from 936 feet above sea level to 32,053 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,117 feet in 16 minutes, covering 97 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 76 miles east of LPPS Porto Santo Airport Vila Baleira, Madeira, Portugal, and lasted 31 minutes, covering 219 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 52 miles west of Essaouira, Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco, and descended from 31,988 feet above sea level to 3,212 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,776 feet in 23 minutes, covering 125 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began again 14 miles west of GMMX Menara Airport Marrakech, Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco, and lasted 4 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at GMMX Menara Airport was made from the west, heading 96.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,249 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 10 was successful, with a touchdown point 375 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -265 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 1 knot at 360°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 5,388 feet, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking from the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 458 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 86 minutes. The aircraft used 7,442 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at GMMX Menara Airport, achieving a high score of 97.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 96.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,249 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 10, which has a length of 10,152 feet.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, at a point 375 feet away from the threshold. The touchdown speed was recorded at 133 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate of -265 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 360°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing conditions ideal. The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 5,388 feet, which accounted for 53% of the runway length.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft meeting most of the target parameters. However, the slightly fast touchdown speed and touchdown point beyond the touchdown zone were minor deviations from the ideal landing performance.
