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 4.6 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,616 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,616 m of the 4,095 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 475 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-900, then departed from runway 22R at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport in Finland. The takeoff distance was 1,413 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -3°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 150°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of the airport and reaching an altitude of 36,002 feet above sea level in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 145 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles southwest of Karijoki, Finland, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 621 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 36,001 feet to 38,000 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 54 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed, starting at a location with coordinates 68.2430848° N and 0.5898285° W, and lasted for 55 minutes, covering a distance of 1,716 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 38,001 feet to 40,006 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed once again, starting 32 miles southwest of CYAS Kangirsuk Airport in Quebec, Canada, and lasted for 55 minutes, covering a distance of 1,810 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles south of Byars, Oklahoma, and descending from 39,998 feet to 3,993 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 135 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed for a brief period, starting 4 miles east of Mansfield, Texas, and lasting 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile north of KGPM Grand Prairie Municipal Airport in Texas, and descending from 3,699 feet to 1,967 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 36L at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 0.0° and an altitude of 1,390 feet above ground level.
The landing was made on runway 36L, which had a length of 4,095 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 135 knots. The touchdown point was 60 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -254 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 250°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,537 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance
The Airbus A350-900 successfully landed on runway 36L at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, achieving a score of 96.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 0.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,390 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 4,095 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 135 knots. The touchdown point was 60 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -254 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 250°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. The aircraft's runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline, which also affected the runway rollout alignment.
The total landing distance was 1,537 meters, accounting for 38% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. However, the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position and rollout alignment may require further attention to ensure optimal landing performance. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
