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 7.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 111 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 120 kt, 9 kt above the 111 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 111 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,329 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 552 m past the threshold — beyond 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 15 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 24L at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. The takeoff distance was 402 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 114 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of -1°C temperature and a wind speed of 19 knots at 260°. The crosswind was 11 knots, while the headwind was 15 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Dorval, Quebec, Canada, where the aircraft ascended from 1,109 feet above sea level to 37,063 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,953 feet in 13 minutes and covering 62 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 5 miles northwest of Willsboro, New York, United States, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 39 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 4 miles south of Ticonderoga, New York, United States, and descended from 37,082 feet above sea level to 22,058 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,024 feet in 11 minutes and covering 76 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile west of Richmond, New Hampshire, United States, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering 49 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 1 mile west of Raymond, New Hampshire, United States, and descended from 22,141 feet above sea level to 4,722 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,419 feet in 12 minutes and covering 21 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 2 miles southwest of Pelham, New Hampshire, United States, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 2 miles east of Andover, Massachusetts, United States, and descended from 4,743 feet above sea level to 2,883 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,860 feet in 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed once more 1 mile southeast of Middleton, Massachusetts, United States, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent overhead Peabody, Massachusetts, United States, and descended from 2,842 feet above sea level to 1,294 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,547 feet in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at KBOS Logan International Airport was made from the north, heading 200.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a touchdown point 127 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 105 knots, which was a little fast, while the touchdown rate was fair at -225 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 2°C temperature and a wind speed of 25 knots at 270°, with a crosswind of 24 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,270 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 22.1 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 286 nautical miles, which was covered in
The Cessna Longitude successfully landed on runway 22L at KBOS Logan International Airport, achieving a score of 90.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 200.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was above the target at 120 knots, indicating a slightly aggressive approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 127 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 105 knots was a bit fast, and the touchdown rate of -225 feet per minute was fair but not exceptional. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 25 knots from 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 24 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance of 1,270 meters was 55% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 22.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position being off-center. Despite this, the pilot managed to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance, demonstrating good control and handling skills.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown. The pilot's ability to adapt to the wind conditions and maintain control of the aircraft was evident, but there is room for improvement in terms of speed management and alignment during the rollout phase.
