What went well

Touched down at -180 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 383 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 48 ft and 143 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; speed limits at 67 %, −1.48 points
Arrival Taxi — peak speed in a turn 18 kt at 88 %, −0.21 points
Departure Roll — Runway alignment max 5.09 m left at 93 %, −0.10 points

Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.1 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.
