Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.8° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 4.3° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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.

Side view — the last 1,746 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,746 m of the 2,894 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 381 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 08 at EPMO Modlin Airport in Poland. The takeoff distance was 1,357 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 159 degrees. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead EPMO Modlin Airport and Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki. The climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 98 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,331 feet above sea level to 37,004 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,673 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of Wysokie Mazowieckie in Poland. This phase lasted for 53 minutes and covered a distance of 346 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile northeast of Paernu-Jaagupi in Estonia. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 114 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 36,526 feet above sea level to 4,214 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,312 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southwest of Jaervenpaeae in Finland. This phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 2 miles east of Hyvinge in Finland. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 3,540 feet above sea level to 2,969 feet above sea level, a decrease of 571 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of EFNS Savikko Airfield Nurmijärvi in Finland. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Nurmijaervi in Finland. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 2,407 feet above sea level to 1,562 feet above sea level, a decrease of 845 feet.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 15 at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport from the northwest. The aircraft was heading 153.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,397 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 25 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind component was 21 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 15 at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport, which had a length of 2,894 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 142 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 379 meters, but the touchdown speed was fast at 141 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -397 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.8 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,659 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport, with a score of 90.6%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 153.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,397 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 15, which has a length of 2,894 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 142 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's speed being influenced by the wind conditions. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 379 meters, but the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 141 knots.
The touchdown rate was firm, measuring -397 feet per minute (fpm), which is a typical rate for a commercial airliner. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 14.8 meters. This may have been due to the crosswind or headwind conditions, which were present during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and wind speeds of 25 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was 21 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.
The total landing distance was 1,659 meters, which is 57% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 13.7 meters. This may have been due to the aircraft's speed and the wind conditions during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance. The aircraft's score of 90.6% indicates that it performed well, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and runway alignment.
