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 12 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 9 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 19 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,662 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 720 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 13R at KJFK, a movement that lasted 13 minutes and covered 4 nm.
The departure roll commenced on runway
The Boeing 737-800 entered the final approach to runway 34R at KDEN from the south on a heading of 1.0° at 4 nm and 1,240 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 threshold the aircraft crossed at a speed of 143 kt, noted as slightly above target, and the threshold height was described as good. The flare was completed and the aircraft continued beyond the touchdown zone, touching down 310 m past the designated zone.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 136 kt, described as a little fast, with a vertical rate of -297 fpm rated fair. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,962 m, representing 54 % of the 3,665 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Reduce the threshold crossing speed to meet the target and adjust the flare to achieve a touchdown point closer to the intended zone, which will bring touchdown speed nearer to VREF and further improve overall precision.
