Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.7 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 3,411 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 169 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The Airbus A330-900 then departed from runway 04 at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 967 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 7 knots at 49 degrees, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 7-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,036 feet above sea level to 32,240 feet, an increase of 31,204 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles. The climb started overhead RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport in Lapu-Lapu City, Central Visayas, Philippines. Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 196 nautical miles, starting 2 miles north of Estancia in Western Visayas, Philippines.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 32,014 feet above sea level to 5,165 feet, a decrease of 26,849 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles. This descent started overhead Victoria in Calabarzon, Philippines. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 52 nautical miles, starting 4 miles south of RP12 Pagbilao Grande Island Airport in Pagbilao, Calabarzon, Philippines.
The aircraft then began its final descent from 5,036 feet above sea level to 2,316 feet, a decrease of 2,719 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. This descent started 1 mile south-east of Teresa in Calabarzon, Philippines. Following this descent, the aircraft began a short climb from 2,306 feet above sea level to 4,536 feet, an increase of 2,230 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This climb started 5 miles north of RPSP Bohol-Panglao International Airport in Panglao, Central Visayas, Philippines.
The aircraft then began its final descent from 4,530 feet above sea level to 1,396 feet, a decrease of 3,134 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. This descent started 7 miles north-east of Teresa in Calabarzon, Philippines. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24 at RPLL Ninoy Aquino International Airport from the north-east, heading 241.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,346 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 24 at RPLL Ninoy Aquino International Airport, with a runway length of 3,411 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 172 meters, and the touchdown speed was 143 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -526 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 5 knots at 280 degrees, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 4-knot headwind.
The total landing distance was 910 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment
The Airbus A330-900 successfully landed at RPLL Ninoy Aquino International Airport, with a score of 95.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 241.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,346 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 24, which has a length of 3,411 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 143 knots, registering at 144 kt. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits, measuring 172 meters, which is a good indication of the pilot's control and precision during the landing.
However, the touchdown speed of 143 kt was slightly faster than the target speed, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down with a bit more force than necessary. This resulted in a very hard touchdown rate of -526 feet per minute (fpm), which may have caused some stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially affected the overall comfort of the passengers.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.8 meters, which is a relatively minor deviation. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and a gentle wind of 5 kt at 280°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, while the headwind component was 4 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 910 meters was within 27% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely within the designated runway area.
