Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 110 m past the target, landing at 567 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
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 1,540 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,540 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 567 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 36 at LIML Milano Linate Airport, covering 3 nm in 10 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 36 the aircraft used 1,592 m, representing 65 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 151 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 28 °C, wind 3 kt from 090°, a cross-wind component of 3 kt and no head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead RB11 Idroscalo Milan, with the aircraft ascending from 1,321 ft asl to 20,012 ft asl - an increase of 18,691 ft - in 9 minutes while covering 50 nm.
Level cruise began overhead Riva di Solto, lasting 17 minutes and covering 129 nm.
Descent started 2 mi north-west of Wallgau (Bavaria, Germany), descending from 20,015 ft asl to 14,199 ft asl - a loss of 5,817 ft - in 5 minutes over 24 nm.
A subsequent cruise segment began 1 mi east of Feldafing, lasting 24 minutes and covering less than 1 nm.
Descent resumed 1 mi east of Feldafing, dropping from 14,087 ft asl to 9,042 ft asl - a decrease of 5,044 ft - in 3 minutes while traveling 33 nm.
The next cruise phase started 1 mi south of Hallbergmoos, lasting 2 minutes and covering 14 nm.
Descent then began 2 mi south of Taufkirchen, with altitude falling from 9,010 ft asl to 5,039 ft asl - a loss of 3,972 ft - in 3 minutes across 27 nm.
A further cruise segment started 1 mi south of Neufraunhofen, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
Descent over Fraunberg reduced altitude from 4,988 ft asl to 2,729 ft asl - a decrease of 2,259 ft - in 2 minutes while covering 5 nm.
The final approach to runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport was conducted from the east, on a heading of 264.0°, at 4 nm and 1,258 ft agl.
Landing on runway 26L (length 3,990 m) recorded a threshold speed of 135 kt, a touchdown point 155 m beyond the touchdown zone, a touchdown speed of 128 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 76 fpm. Local weather at the time was 18 °C with wind 5 kt from 340°, a cross-wind component of 5 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt. Total landing distance was 1,463 m, representing 37 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering 2 nm in 6 minutes.
In total, the flight covered 298 nm, required 57 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 3,016 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 established a final approach to runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport from the east, tracking a heading of 264.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,258 ft agl. Local weather was 18 °C with wind 5 kt from 340 °, providing a 5 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt headwind component.
Threshold height was good and the aircraft maintained a threshold speed of 135 kt, which the input rates as good.
Touchdown occurred 155 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 128 kt, noted as a little fast. The vertical rate at touchdown was excellent at minus 76 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Total landing distance measured 1,463 m, representing 37 % of the 3,990 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
To refine the already high score of 98.4 %, the pilot should aim to reduce touchdown speed slightly to better match the target and adjust the flare to achieve touchdown within the designated zone.
