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 9.6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 14 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 20 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and 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 2,311 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,311 m of the 3,244 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 798 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG), the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the designated runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 04, utilizing 68% of the available runway length. The takeoff distance of 2,430 meters was sufficient to achieve liftoff at a speed of 164 knots, with the local weather conditions favoring a smooth departure.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent from 2,416 feet above sea level, eventually reaching 33,690 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles. The climb was initiated overhead Bellevue, Geneve, Switzerland, and the aircraft continued to cruise at this altitude for a significant portion of the flight. The enroute level cruise phase started over Bonstetten, Kanton Zurich, Switzerland, and lasted for 26 minutes, covering 204 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 33,562 feet above sea level to 3,899 feet, a decrease of 29,663 feet in 19 minutes, covering 111 nautical miles. The descent phase was followed by a brief enroute level cruise over Petrikov, Stredocesky kraj, Czech Republic, lasting only 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Václav Havel Airport Prague (LKPR), it initiated its final approach to runway 30 from the south east, heading 307.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,328 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a total landing distance of 2,240 meters, 69% of the available runway length. Although the touchdown point was 392 meters beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly above the target, and the touchdown rate was hard at -415 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 20.0 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 449 nautical miles, taking 83 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,916 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The final approach to runway 30 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague from the south east was initiated at 4 nm and 1,328 ft above ground level, heading 307.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 58 ft above ground level, slightly above the target. However, the threshold speed of 146 kt was well above the target, indicating a potential for a long rollout.
The aircraft touched down 392 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 137 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -415 fpm, indicating a high deceleration rate upon touchdown. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the subsequent rollout alignment issues. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8 °C and a wind of 5 kt at 50°, resulted in a crosswind of 5 kt and a tailwind of 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 2,240 m was 69% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 20.0 m from the centreline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position. Overall, the landing performance scored 83.9%, reflecting a satisfactory but not exceptional performance.
