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 4.7 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,430 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 482 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hewanorra International Airport (TLPL) in Saint Lucia, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 10, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 150 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,241 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway length, was achieved in a relatively short period.
As the aircraft climbed out of Saint Lucia, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 36,631 feet above sea level in 42 minutes, covering a distance of 306 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a prolonged enroute level cruise, which lasted for 260 minutes and spanned 2,152 nautical miles. The aircraft maintained a steady course, navigating through the Caribbean region before entering the descent phase. The enroute descent, which began at a latitude of 20.4595317 and longitude of -19.3326431, saw the aircraft descend from 36,906 feet to 1,328 feet above sea level in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles.
As the Boeing 737-900 approached its destination, Nouadhibou International Airport (GQPP) in Mauritania, it initiated its final approach to runway 02 from the south, aligning itself with the runway at an altitude of 1,306 feet above ground level. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down 65 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 131 knots. The touchdown rate of -148 feet per minute was consistent with the desired parameters, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 2,597 nautical miles was achieved in 329 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 15,932 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 02 at GQPP Nouadhibou International Airport with a high degree of precision, showcasing a well-executed approach. The aircraft descended from 1,306 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning itself with the runway heading of 14.0 degrees. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 140 knots, indicating a well-controlled descent.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down 65 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 131 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -148 feet per minute, demonstrating a high level of control and stability. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind of 10 knots at 340 degrees, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 991 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 99.2%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the crew.
