Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 14 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 3.5° of bank in the first climb segment and 2.8° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,721 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,721 m of the 2,606 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 543 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 36 at Malé International Airport, VRMM. The takeoff distance was 568 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 136 knots.
During takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots at a direction of 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft climbed to a height of 1,032 feet above sea level before initiating the enroute climb.
The enroute climb started overhead Hulhumale, a location in the Kaafu Atoll, Maldives. The aircraft climbed from 1,032 feet to 2,098 feet, an increase of 1,065 feet, in just 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This phase began 2 miles southwest of Male, another location in the Kaafu Atoll.
The final approach to runway 36 at Malé International Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 360 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 36 was successful, with the threshold height being slightly above the target. The threshold speed was good at 122 knots.
However, the touchdown point was 112 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 118 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -164 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions during landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 329 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,625 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 21.1 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 14 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 12 minutes. The aircraft used 192 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at VRMM Malé International Airport, achieving an overall score of 87.9%. The final approach to runway 36 was initiated from the south, heading 360.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being slightly above the target. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 122 knots. The touchdown point was located 112 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 118 knots was slightly faster than the desired speed, but the touchdown rate of -164 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 329°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The runway length at VRMM Malé International Airport is 2,606 meters.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,625 meters, which accounts for 62% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was found to be misaligned by 21.1 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the aircraft may have deviated from the intended path during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some minor deviations from the desired parameters, including a slightly fast touchdown speed and a misaligned runway rollout. Nevertheless, the aircraft was able to come to a safe stop within the available runway length, and the pilot's skills and judgment were demonstrated to be satisfactory.
