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 9.9 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 15 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 21 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 2,438 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 520 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Comiso Airport (LICB) in southern Italy, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey with a taxiing period of 8 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 23, utilizing 1,224 meters, or 51% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 150 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 19°C, with a negligible wind of 1 knot from a direction of 301°.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 112 nautical miles in 18 minutes, ascending from 1,559 feet above sea level to 35,625 feet. The climb phase was followed by a 49-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft covered 345 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 3 miles north-east of Marina di Pisa, Italy, and involved a decrease in altitude from 35,835 feet to 21,034 feet in 10 minutes, covering 60 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a series of level cruises, with the final one lasting 5 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles, before initiating the final approach to runway 36 at Milano Linate Airport (LIML).
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 36 at LIML, with a touchdown point 112 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The aircraft's touchdown speed was 130 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -305 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 17.4 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,068 meters, or 44% of the runway's length. Following a taxiing period of 2 minutes, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 650 nautical miles and utilizing 4,633 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 36 at LIML Milano Linate Airport, with a threshold height that met the desired standards. The aircraft's approach quality was good, with a threshold speed of 138 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 112 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 130 kt was also good. However, the touchdown rate was firm at -305 fpm, indicating a slightly steeper descent than ideal.
The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 17.4 m from the centreline, which could have contributed to the subsequent rollout issues. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and a wind of 8 kt at 240 °, resulted in a crosswind of 7 kt and a tailwind of 3 kt. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's alignment during the approach and rollout phases.
The total landing distance of 1,068 m was 44% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 22.3 m from the centreline, indicating a loss of directional control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 88.4%, reflecting a good approach and touchdown, but some issues with alignment and rollout.
