Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 7.5 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 5.8°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,535 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,535 m of the 2,329 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 548 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22L at Chicago Midway International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,238 meters, which was 77% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 17 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 36,020 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,598 feet from the initial altitude of 3,422 feet. This climb took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 149 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead Burbank, Illinois, and continued until the aircraft reached its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise then began 5 miles north of Hudson, Michigan, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 460 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles northeast of Altamont, New York. The descent from 35,897 feet to 4,346 feet took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 134 nautical miles.
The aircraft then leveled off again, starting 1 mile east of Boxford, Massachusetts, and remained at this altitude for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final descent began overhead Wenham, Massachusetts, and took the aircraft from 4,063 feet to 1,311 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at Logan International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 199.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 2,329 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 152 knots.
The touchdown point was 133 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 145 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -255 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 225 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,455 meters, which was 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.7 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 765 nautical miles, and the flight took 57 minutes. The aircraft used 4,890 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport on runway 22L, achieving a score of 95.0%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 199.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was made in good conditions, with a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 14 knots at 225°.
Upon landing, the threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 152 knots. The touchdown point was located 133 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 145 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -255 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,455 meters, accounting for 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.7 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the intended path after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 95.0%, despite some minor deviations from the intended landing spot and speed.
