The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.7 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots coming from a direction of 200 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
