Thanks to all for the tips, I went and did some pattern work and sure enough
it was not heeling my feet coupled with some inadvertant left foot pressure.

I'm surprised nobody brought this up.... Are you trying to align the axis
of the plane with the centerline of the runway? Don't. It's less than a
foot in a cessna. Align the centerline with you. If that's you're problem
then you're likely overcompensating for what the centerline should look like
while your "paralleling" it, and, as a consequence, touching down pointing a
bit to the left.... possibly perfectly coordinated. And, if you are
uncoordinated, like other posters suggest, this will help you recognize
that.

I did the exact same thing you did for a long time.

Regards

OK so 4 or so flight hours after attaining my PPL, I find a problem i

don't
recall experiencing during flight training at all. Hoping for some

insight
or maybe i'll consider a few recurrent hours with my CFI.

Anyway basically the problem is that I land straight (or so I think) and
almost immediately after touchdown I start to veer to the left
(disconcerting for passengers), now on LUK's 150ft wide runway no problem

I
get it back on centerline but i'm concerned about thi.s happening on a

75ft
or narrower runway.
