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 9.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 134 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 146 kt, 12 kt above the 134 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 134 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
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 1,641 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,641 m of the 2,495 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 464 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Chicago Midway International Airport, the Embraer E175 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As it reached the runway, the aircraft started its departure roll on runway 22L, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 147 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,120 meters was achieved at 70% of the runway length, with a local temperature of 8°C and wind conditions of 17 knots at 160 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent from 1,655 feet above sea level to 32,010 feet, an increase of 30,354 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 1 mile southwest of Palmyra, Illinois, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 198 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 32,000 feet to 8,417 feet in 10 minutes, covering 88 nautical miles. The descent phase was punctuated by brief level cruises, including a 2-minute period 2 miles north of Eagan, Minnesota, and a final descent from 8,020 feet to 2,236 feet in 7 minutes, covering 25 nautical miles.
As the Embraer E175 approached Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 12L from the northwest, aligning perfectly with the runway. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly higher than the threshold speed, and the touchdown point was 48 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The aircraft's total landing distance of 1,560 meters was 64% of the runway length, with a runway rollout alignment that was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 408 nautical miles, with a flight time of 47 minutes and a fuel consumption of 1,647 kilograms.
The Embraer E175 touched down on runway 12L at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport with a score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north west, heading 121.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,394 feet above ground level. The approach quality was good, with a smooth descent into the threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly too high at 147 knots, indicating a slight over-control during the final stages of the approach.
The aircraft touched down 48 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 137 knots, which was faster than the recommended speed. The touchdown rate of -261 feet per minute was fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 7°C and winds of 15 knots at 170°, contributed to a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,560 meters was 64% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with the aircraft performing well in the challenging weather conditions. However, there is room for improvement in terms of controlling the touchdown speed and threshold speed.
