Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 13 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 6.2° of bank in the first climb segment and 5.3° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,783 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 746 m past the threshold — beyond 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 35L at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, with a takeoff distance of 968 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 19 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind was 19 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of Pusignan, France, and the aircraft climbed from 1,874 feet above sea level to 18,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,135 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles.
After the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south east of Chevroux, France, and lasted for 17 minutes, covering a distance of 157 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 18,010 feet above sea level to 11,582 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,428 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its descent and entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Sewen, France, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles. The descent then continued from 10,490 feet above sea level to 6,967 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,523 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Roggwil, Switzerland, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The descent then continued from 6,986 feet above sea level to 2,401 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,585 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33 at EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg was made from the south east, heading 335.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,504 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 33, which had a length of 2,783 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 132 knots.
The touchdown point was 325 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 113 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -172 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 220 degrees, with a crosswind of 14 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,293 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 25.2 meters from the centreline. 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 was 300 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 53 minutes. The aircraft used 1,073 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at LFSB EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, achieving an overall score of 86.8%. The final approach to runway 33 was initiated from the south east, with a heading of 335.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,504 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 132 knots. The touchdown point was located 325 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 113 knots was a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute was satisfactory.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 220°. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots. The runway length at LFSB EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg is 2,783 meters, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft to land safely.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,293 meters, which accounts for approximately 46% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to land and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was found to be misaligned by 25.2 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the aircraft may have deviated from the intended path during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some minor deviations from the desired parameters, including a slightly fast touchdown speed and a misaligned runway rollout. Nevertheless, the aircraft was able to land safely and come to a stop within a reasonable distance, demonstrating a good level of control and maneuverability.
