Flight Score
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections to track a point at the far end of the runway and close the offset before touchdown.
What happened: You touched down with the centreline offset by 16 ft.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline alignment, keeping offset inside the limit.
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. 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 9,991 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 918 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxi from the parking area to runway 01 at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, a movement that lasted 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 01 with a distance of 1,837 ft, representing 26 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 92 kt. The local weather at departure was temperature 49 °F, wind 16 kt from 360°, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 16 kt head-wind component.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 41 seconds, averaging 1,160 fpm and reaching 127 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 795 ft asl to 30,002 ft asl in 22 minutes, covering 68 nm while passing overhead RB16 Washington Potomac Washington.
Cruise level at 30,000 ft asl was maintained for 42 minutes, covering 212 nm, beginning 4 miles south-east of VA58 River Bend Airport Maurertown.
Descent from 29,992 ft asl to 2,278 ft asl lasted 23 minutes and covered 99 nm, starting 6 miles south-west of Wurtland, with a brief level-off at 8,000 ft asl.
Final approach to runway 36R at KCVG Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport began with a descent from 1,430 ft agl to 48 ft agl in 119 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. Configuration was gear down at 3,210 ft agl and 158 kt; final flap position 2 was selected at 635 ft agl and 136 kt.
Landing on runway 36R, which is 9,991 ft long, occurred with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 86 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown was recorded at 918 ft down the runway, at a speed of 74 kt and a rate of -82 fpm, both noted as good. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 16 ft from the centreline, with no bounce observed.
Total landing distance was 2,265 ft, representing 23 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, taxi to the parking area took 6 minutes and covered 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 386 nm in 100 minutes and consumed 689 lb of fuel.
