Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 19 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 7 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 19 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 48.5 kt FAST on the reference speed of 127 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,564 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 343 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A319 taxied from the parking area to runway 27R at KATL, a movement that lasted 9 minutes and covered 3 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 27R with a take-off distance of 1,526 m (42 % of the runway). Rotation occurred at 162 kt. Local weather at departure was 14 °C, wind 10 kt from 322°, giving a crosswind component of 8 kt and a headwind component of 6 kt.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 18 seconds, averaging 2,313 fpm and reaching 186 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1,964 ft asl to 36,982 ft asl in 16 minutes, covering 98 nm while remaining overhead KATL.
The aircraft levelled at 37,000 ft asl for 43 minutes, flying 318 nm, beginning the segment 5 mi south-west of Ellaville.
Descent began from 37,005 ft asl to 1,188 ft asl in 22 minutes, covering 138 nm, starting 1 mi west of FL00 Griffins Peace River Ranch Airport (Zolfo Springs).
Final approach to runway 09 at KMIA started from 1,227 ft agl and descended to -121 ft agl in 89 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, and wings level; the speed check was not met at one gate. Configuration was gear down at 1,536 ft agl with 207 kt, and final flap position 5 was selected at 989 ft agl with 172 kt.
Landing on runway 09 (runway length 3,564 m) had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 129 kt. The flare was described as excellent. Touchdown occurred at 124 kt, a good speed, with a touchdown distance of 343 m and a touchdown rate of minus 240 fpm (fair). The touchdown point was slightly misaligned, 7.2 m off the centreline. No bounce was observed.
Total landing distance was 1,024 m (29 % of the runway). Runway rollout ended misaligned by 18.7 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was 14 °C, wind 8 kt from 320°, giving a crosswind component of 7 kt and a tailwind component of 5 kt.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a movement that took 11 minutes and covered 2 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 564 nm in 101 minutes and consumed 3,754 kg of fuel.
