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 12 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 9.2 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival 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 1,695 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,695 m of the 3,656 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 562 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 01L at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, a movement that lasted 20 minutes and covered 4 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 01L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 161 kt and became airborne after traveling 1,866 m, which represented 57 % of the runway length; local conditions were a temperature of 20 °C, wind 18 kt from 210°, a 6 kt crosswind component and a 17 kt tailwind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile north of ESSA, with the airplane rising from 1,076 ft asl to 35,974 ft asl, an altitude gain of 34,898 ft achieved in 20 minutes while covering 116 nm.
Level cruise began 5 miles south-east of Bestorp and continued for 24 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 231 nm at cruise altitude.
Descent was initiated 3 miles south-west of Vordingborg, descending from 35,815 ft asl to 1,380 ft asl, a loss of 34,435 ft over 22 minutes and a distance of 131 nm.
The final approach to runway 15 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was flown from the north-west on a heading of 153.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,325 ft agl.
Landing on runway 15 was executed with a threshold speed of 138 kt, a touchdown point 157 m beyond the touchdown zone, a touchdown speed of 133 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 189 fpm; runway length was 3,662 m, the alignment at touchdown was perfect, and the weather reported a temperature of 21 °C, wind 18 kt from 230°, an 18 kt crosswind and a 4 kt headwind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,625 m, representing 44 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s centreline alignment was offset by 9.2 m.
Taxi-in from the runway to the parking area required 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 489 nm, required 77 minutes of airborne time and used -1,722 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 established the final approach to runway 15 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport from the north-west on a heading of 153.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,325 ft agl, with temperature 21 °C, wind 18 kt from 230 °, a cross-wind component of 18 kt and a head-wind component of 4 kt; the threshold height was reported as good.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft’s threshold speed was slightly above target at 138 kt.
Touchdown occurred 157 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 133 kt that was a little fast, a vertical rate of -189 fpm that was good, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,625 m, representing 44 % of the 3,662 m runway, and rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.2 m from the centreline.
With a score of 96.0 % the landing was strong overall; tightening speed control on final to achieve the target threshold speed will reduce the slight excess in touchdown speed, and refining the rollout technique will bring the centreline deviation within tighter limits.
