Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 179 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 160 kt against a target of 179 kt, running 19 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 179 kt.
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
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.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.3° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,930 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,930 m of the 3,344 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 299 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway at LGTS Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 28, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 156 kt and using a takeoff distance of 1,867 m, which represented 54 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were 25 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 339°, providing a 2 kt headwind and a 3 kt cross-wind component.
Climb began approximately 1 mile north of Peraia, with the airplane ascending from 979 ft asl to 30,983 ft asl, a gain of 30,004 ft achieved in 13 minutes while covering 79 nm.
Level cruise was established 12 miles north of LGSK Skiathos Island National Airport and persisted for 18 minutes, during which the flight traversed 130 nm.
Descent was initiated 22 miles east of Ydra, with the aircraft descending from 30,996 ft asl to 1,683 ft asl, a loss of 29,312 ft over 23 minutes and a distance of 123 nm.
The final approach to runway 29 at LGSA Chania International Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 292.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,216 ft agl. Weather at the destination was 24 °C with a wind of 10 kt from 330°, giving an 8 kt headwind and a 6 kt cross-wind component.
Landing on runway 29, which is 3,344 m long, was executed with a threshold speed of 144 kt (slightly above target) and a touchdown distance of 299 m. The aircraft touched down at 146 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 320 fpm, and the wheel-track was offset 7.0 m from the centreline. The total landing distance recorded was 1,840 m, representing 55 % of the runway.
During rollout the aircraft’s alignment drifted an additional 12.9 m from the centreline before exiting the runway.
The Boeing 737-800 taxied back to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 341 nm, required 69 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 2,771 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 received a final score of 93.0 % after a final approach to runway 29 at LGSA Chania International Airport from the east, flying a heading of 292.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,216 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At the threshold the runway length was 3,344 m and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 144 kt.
Touchdown occurred 299 m down the runway, which was good, but the touchdown speed of 146 kt was fast and the touchdown rate was firm at minus 320 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,840 m, representing 55 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.9 m from the centreline. Local weather was 24 °C with wind 10 kt at 330 °, giving a 6 kt crosswind component and an 8 kt headwind component.
Maintain the target touchdown speed to keep the flare within the optimal height and reduce the fast touchdown speed, and refine the final alignment to keep the touchdown point within a few metres of the centreline, ensuring the aim point remains near 300 m (1,000 ft) in.
