Next time
On final, make small, early aileron and rudder corrections toward a point at the far end of the runway to recapture the centreline before touchdown.
What happened: This approach drifted off the centreline, crossing with a lateral offset that usually carries through to a touchdown point displaced from the centreline, and from there into a continuing alignment deviation during the rollout of 11 m.
Watch for: Watch your lateral position against the runway centreline, correcting any drift back toward 11 m well before the threshold.
Departure
Hold the nose until reaching 154 kt before rotating.
What happened: Rotation began at 140 kt, 14 kt before the 154 kt target.
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 3,333 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
The Boeing 707-320 taxied from the parking area to runway 34R at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (KSEA) in 13 minutes, covering 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 34R, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,575 m, representing 43 % of the runway, and achieved liftoff at 141 kt; local weather temperature was 25 °C.
Climb commenced overhead KSEA, ascending from 1,306 ft asl to 27,085 ft asl, an increase of 25,779 ft achieved in 14 minutes while covering 81 nm.
The first cruise segment began 13 mi northeast of Concrete, Washington, and continued for 34 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 247 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 7 mi northwest of Williams Lake Airport (CYWL) in British Columbia, descending from 26,991 ft asl to 5,264 ft asl, a loss of 21,726 ft in 14 minutes and covering 82 nm.
A brief cruise followed 15 mi south of Prince George Airport (CYXS), lasting 2 minutes and spanning 5 nm.
Subsequent descent began 9 mi south of CYXS, dropping from 5,092 ft asl to 3,584 ft asl, a decrease of 1,508 ft in 2 minutes over a distance of 5 nm.
The final approach to runway 33 at Prince George Airport was executed from the south, on a heading of 351.0°, at 4 nm and 1,344 ft agl.
Landing on runway 33, which is 3,333 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 129 kt; touchdown distance was 462 m, touchdown speed 119 kt, and touchdown rate minus 241 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 10.7 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 16 °C, wind 9 kt from 29°, with a 6 kt crosswind component and a 7 kt headwind component. Total landing distance measured 1,198 m, equal to 36 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 10.6 m.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 430 nm, lasted 79 minutes, and consumed 7,679 kg of fuel.
Aircraft L1011-500 Cabin w/ Lounge scored 90.5% on a final approach to runway 17 at MDSD Las Américas International Airport from the north-west, heading 145.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,151 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Local weather was 25 °C with wind 3 kt at 50 °, a 3 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold speed was good at 144 kt, the touchdown distance was good at 299 m and the touchdown speed was good at 140 kt. The touchdown rate was hard at minus 434 fpm and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.6 m from centreline; the threshold height was good.
Touchdown occurred with the aircraft crossing the runway at the indicated speed and distance, resulting in a total landing distance of 1,316 m, representing 39 % of the 3,365 m runway. The hard touchdown rate and slight lateral offset were reflected in the landing performance, while the overall distance usage remained well within runway limits.
Rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 m from centreline as the aircraft decelerated along the remaining runway length.
Refine the flare to achieve a smoother touchdown and reduce the hard rate of minus 434 fpm. Maintain tighter centreline tracking during flare and rollout to limit the 7-meter lateral deviations.
