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 8.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,350 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 272 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Charlottetown Airport (CYYG) in Prince Edward Island, Canada. This process took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 28, with the aircraft taking off after covering 52% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,111 meters, and the liftoff speed was 142 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of -2°C temperature and a 7-knot headwind at 270°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot. The enroute climb started shortly after takeoff, with the aircraft ascending from 795 feet above sea level to 35,509 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,715 feet in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 72 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 8 miles north of Lutes Mountain in New Brunswick, Canada, and lasted for 42 minutes, covering a distance of 244 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 6 miles south of Saint-Georges Airport in Quebec, Canada, and descended from 36,024 feet above sea level to 3,118 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,906 feet in 34 minutes and covering a distance of 138 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time starting 3 miles west of Sainte-Martine, Quebec, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. It then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Montreal / Aéroparc Île Perrot in Quebec, and lasting for 1 minute, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06L at Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (CYUL) took place from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 42.0° and at an altitude of 1,367 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway length of 3,350 meters, with the threshold height above the target height. The threshold speed was good at 121 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 269 meters.
The touchdown speed was 111 knots, which was good, but the touchdown rate was hard at -456 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, despite the local weather conditions of 4°C temperature and a 23-knot tailwind at 150°. The crosswind was 22 knots, and the tailwind was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,101 meters, which was 33% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 9 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 475 nautical miles, taking 110 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,307 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (CYUL) on runway 06L. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 42.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,367 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, with a score of 93.0%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 111 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 269 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing process. However, the touchdown rate was slightly harder than expected, at -456 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slight loss of control during the final stages of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 23 knots from a direction of 150°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 22 knots and a tailwind component of 7 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's descent and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,101 meters was 33% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision during the landing process. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended path.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of proficiency in managing the aircraft's descent and landing in challenging weather conditions. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more precise alignment during the rollout phase.
