Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.3 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,794 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 476 m touchdown sits inside 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 23L at Manchester Airport (EGCC). The takeoff distance was 1,490 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 289°. The crosswind was 13 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Mobberley in Cheshire East, England, where the aircraft climbed from 1,246 feet above sea level to 4,467 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,221 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles east of Northwich in Cheshire West and Chester, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began another climb, this time from 4,898 feet above sea level to 39,214 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,316 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 166 nautical miles. This climb took place overhead EGRH Arclid Airfield Rode Heath in Cheshire East, England.
The enroute level cruise resumed 13 miles south of Rustington in West Sussex, England, and lasted for 36 minutes, covering 314 nautical miles. As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent from 39,557 feet above sea level to 4,082 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,474 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 140 nautical miles. This descent started 2 miles northeast of Saint-Julien-le-Vendomois in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France.
The enroute level cruise began again, this time overhead Conques-sur-Orbiel in Occitanie, France, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began its final descent, which started overhead Marseillette in Occitanie, France. The descent from 3,499 feet above sea level to 1,807 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,691 feet in 2 minutes, covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at LFMK Carcassonne Airport was from the east, with a heading of 277.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,376 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 27 took place, with a runway length of 1,794 meters. The threshold height was above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly above target at 154 knots.
The touchdown point was 61 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 146 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -285 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.2 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 23°C temperature and a wind speed of 28 knots at 290°, with a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 27 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,180 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 654 nautical miles, taking 106 minutes, and the aircraft
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at LFMK Carcassonne Airport, achieving a score of 91.2%. The final approach to runway 27 was initiated from the east, heading 277.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,376 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was conducted in a relatively calm environment, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 28 knots at 290°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 61 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the target area. The touchdown speed of 146 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit more braking than necessary. However, the touchdown rate of -285 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was relatively smooth.
The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centerline, deviating by 11.2 meters. This may have been due to a slight miscalculation of the aircraft's position or a minor deviation from the intended flight path. The local weather conditions, with a headwind of 27 knots and a crosswind of 7 knots, may have also contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 1,180 meters was 66% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline, deviating by 10.9 meters. This may have been due to a slight miscalculation of the aircraft's position or a minor deviation from the intended flight path.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 91.2%. However, there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, including a slightly fast touchdown speed and a misaligned runway touchdown position. These deviations may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the aircraft's flight path.
