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 89 m past the target, landing at 546 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 1,691 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,691 m of the 2,813 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 546 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Munich Airport (EDDM), the Airbus A321 began its journey with a taxiing period of 11 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 08L, with a takeoff distance of 1,804 meters, utilizing 45% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 162 knots, taking advantage of a 3-knot headwind and minimal crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute level, it ascended from 2,470 feet above sea level to 37,795 feet, a vertical increase of 35,324 feet, in 26 minutes and covering 146 nautical miles. The climb phase was initiated 1 mile northeast of Munich Airport. The aircraft then entered a 74-minute enroute level cruise, covering 533 nautical miles, before beginning its descent 10 miles west of Formby, England. The descent phase saw a decrease of 30,029 feet in 16 minutes, covering 104 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to execute a series of short enroute level cruises and descents, before commencing its final approach to runway 10L at Dublin Airport (EIDW).
The aircraft touched down on runway 10L, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown point was 128 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,609 meters, utilizing 52% of the runway. Following a 5-minute taxiing period, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 834 nautical miles and utilizing 6,374 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 10L at EIDW Dublin Airport from the west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 95.0° at 4 nm and 1,546 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 128 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 134 kt was a little fast. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -190 fpm was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12 °C and wind at 16 kt at 150°, resulted in a crosswind of 13 kt and a headwind of 9 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,609 m was 52% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 97.3%.
