What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.5 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 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 428 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 01R at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand. The takeoff distance was 1,068 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 59 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Suvarnabhumi Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,033 feet above sea level to 7,628 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,595 feet. Following this initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 7 miles north-west of Bang Nam Priao, Thailand. The climb started at an altitude of 7,906 feet above sea level and continued for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 9,859 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,953 feet. Following this climb, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began a more significant climb, which started 2 miles east of Khlong Luang, Thailand. The climb began at an altitude of 9,860 feet above sea level and continued for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 129 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 39,858 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,998 feet. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 121 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, which started 23 miles north-east of Lang Suan, Thailand. The descent began at an altitude of 39,841 feet above sea level and continued for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 134 nautical miles. The aircraft descended to an altitude of 1,538 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,303 feet.
The final approach to runway 27 at Phuket International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 266.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,476 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 27 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 132 knots and a distance of 431 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate was fair at -294 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.7 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 290 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,271 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 430 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 82 minutes. The aircraft used 3,421 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at VTSP Phuket International Airport, achieving a score of 99.0%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, heading 266.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,476 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 137 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 431 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -294 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 290°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 1,271 meters was 42% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and landing phases.
