Flight Score
Arrival
Apply small rudder corrections at touchdown, aiming at a point at the far end of the runway, to stay on the centreline.
What happened: Touchdown drifted 5.6 m off the centreline, and landings like this usually carry that drift into the rollout, where the alignment error grew to 15 m.
Watch for: Runway centreline: aircraft tracking directly over it 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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 1,423 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,162 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 383 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 27R at KATL, a movement that lasted 6 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 27R, the aircraft used 1,785 m of runway, representing 49 % of the available length, and lifted off at 140 kt. Ambient conditions were 29 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 130 °, a crosswind component of 6 kt and a tailwind component of 7 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of College Park, Georgia, with the aircraft ascending from 1,998 ft asl to 30,992 ft asl, an increase of 28,994 ft achieved in 13 minutes while covering 102 nm.
Level cruise began 6 miles south of Washington, Georgia, and persisted for 7 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 143 nm.
Descent was initiated 1 mile north east of 58J Huggins Memorial Airport, Timmonsville, South Carolina, with a reduction from 31,005 ft asl to 1,398 ft asl, a loss of 29,608 ft over 12 minutes and a distance of 122 nm.
The final approach to runway 05 at KOAJ Albert J Ellis Airport was flown from the south-west, on a heading of 45.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,297 ft agl.
Landing on runway 05 was performed on a runway 2,161 m long; the threshold speed was 143 kt. Touchdown occurred 386 m down the runway at 137 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 269 fpm and a lateral deviation of 5.6 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 36 °C with a wind of 15 kt from 110 °, a crosswind of 14 kt and a headwind component of 6 kt. The total landing distance recorded was 1,106 m, equal to 51 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was offset by 15.3 m from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 374 nm, required 41 minutes, and consumed 2,023 kg of fuel.
The CRJ900 achieved a final approach to runway 05 at KOAJ Albert J Ellis Airport from the south-west, maintaining a heading of 45.0° at 4 nm and 1,297 ft agl; the aircraft carried a final score of 94.0 % and the runway length was 2,161 m. Local weather reported a temperature of 36 °C, wind 15 kt from 110°, providing a crosswind component of 14 kt and a headwind component of 6 kt.
Threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 143 kt as the aircraft transitioned to flare.
Touchdown distance was good at 386 m, while touchdown speed at 137 kt was a little fast; touchdown rate was fair at minus 269 fpm and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 m from centreline. Total landing distance measured 1,106 m, representing 51 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 15.3 m from centreline.
Refine the touchdown speed to better match the target envelope and focus on maintaining centreline alignment during rollout to reduce the 15.3 m deviation.
