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 13 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 11 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 6.8 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 4,026 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 270 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UGTB Tbilisi International Airport took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Boeing 737-700 then began its departure roll on runway 31L, utilizing 45% of the 1,336-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 156 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 29°C, with a wind speed of 25 knots from a direction of 320°, resulting in a 25-knot headwind and a negligible crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Tbilisi, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile northwest of the airport, rising from an initial altitude of 2,658 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 31,932 feet, an increase of 29,275 feet in just 10 minutes. The climb phase covered a distance of 145 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise phase, lasting only 2 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. Subsequent descent phases were initiated to reduce altitude, with the first descent from 31,988 feet to 7,146 feet covering a distance of 128 nautical miles in 5 minutes. The final descent phase, from 7,004 feet to 1,266 feet, took 10 minutes and covered 28 nautical miles.
The Boeing 737-700 then began its final approach to runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, descending from an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The aircraft landed on the 3,997-meter runway, with a touchdown distance of 269 meters, utilizing 30% of the available runway length. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold speed, while the touchdown rate of -228 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.3 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,191 meters, and the aircraft used 2,759 kilograms of fuel during the 36-minute flight, covering a total distance of 316 nautical miles.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, maintaining a steady descent from 1,258 feet above ground level (agl) at 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The aircraft's heading of 346.0° aligned with the runway, and the threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase. The threshold speed of 139 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance of 269 meters was within the expected parameters. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -228 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was 10.3 meters off-centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25°C and a 14-knot wind at 10°, contributed to a 6-knot crosswind and a 13-knot headwind, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment.
The total landing distance of 1,191 meters, accounting for 30% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centerline by 9.4 meters, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal path. Overall, the landing performance scored 96.1%, reflecting a high level of proficiency in executing a safe and controlled landing on runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport.
