What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 8.5 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 1,737 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 369 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 17R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,307 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles south of KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 137 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,645 feet above sea level to 37,500 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,855 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles north of Abilene, Texas. This phase lasted for 108 minutes and covered a distance of 782 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 8 miles north of L64 Desert Center, California. The descent took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 124 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 37,512 feet above sea level to 4,182 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,330 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles east of Yorba Linda, California. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles south-east of Yorba Linda, California. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 3,682 feet above sea level to 1,321 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,361 feet.
The final approach to runway 20R at KSNA John Wayne Orange County International Airport was made from the north-east, with a heading of 208.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,255 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 20R, which had a length of 1,737 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 368 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 143 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -296 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,014 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,062 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 172 minutes. The aircraft used 7,000 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KSNA John Wayne Orange County International Airport, achieving a score of 98.1%. The final approach to runway 20R was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 208.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 143 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed of 144 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 368 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 1,014 meters was 58% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and stability during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
