Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 170 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 31 kt fast at 201 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 170 kt in the climb
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 13 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 38 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,555 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 474 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) on runway 27R, the Airbus A320 began its journey with a 17-minute taxiing period, covering 4 nautical miles to reach the runway. At 27 °C and with a gentle headwind of 8 kt, the aircraft took off with a liftoff speed of 158 kt, utilizing 34% of the 2,560-meter runway. The initial climb phase started 1 mile southwest of College Park, Georgia, where the aircraft ascended from 2,033 feet above sea level to 36,996 feet in 19 minutes, covering 128 nautical miles.
The enroute climb phase was followed by a 61-minute level cruise, which began 3 miles southwest of Abbeville, South Carolina, and lasted until 4 miles south of Seaford, New York. During this period, the aircraft covered 459 nautical miles. The descent phase started 2 miles north of Long Neck, Delaware, where the aircraft descended from 37,040 feet to 5,062 feet in 20 minutes, covering 140 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a brief level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes, before beginning its final descent. The aircraft touched down on runway 22L at John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) with a touchdown speed of 128 kt, slightly above the target speed. The total landing distance was 1,028 meters, accounting for 40% of the 2,560-meter runway.
The post-landing phase saw the aircraft taxiing to the parking area, covering 1 nautical mile in 6 minutes. The total flight distance was 772 nautical miles, with a flight time of 134 minutes and a fuel consumption of 5,073 kilograms. The landing roll alignment was significantly misaligned from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also off-centre by 37.7 meters. The local weather conditions at KJFK were characterized by a temperature of 9 °C and a gentle headwind of 5 kt.
The aircraft touched down on runway 22L at KJFK John F Kennedy International Airport, a 2,560-meter long runway, after a final approach from the north east, heading 211.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,370 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing conditions.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 128 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -426 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 57 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.5 meters from the centreline, which could have contributed to the subsequent rollout issues. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind of 14 knots at 140°, resulted in a 14-knot crosswind and a 5-knot headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,028 meters, accounting for 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 37.7 meters from the centreline, indicating a loss of directional control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 83.5%, reflecting a satisfactory but not exceptional landing.
