Flight Score
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 9.2 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 10 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 1,794 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,794 m of the 4,002 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 670 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Frankfurt Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As it reached the runway threshold, the aircraft started its departure roll on runway 07C, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 160 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,775 meters was 44% of the available runway length, and the aircraft lifted off smoothly.
As the aircraft climbed out of Frankfurt Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 34,714 feet in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 128 nautical miles. The climb was initiated overhead the airport, and the aircraft continued to ascend to its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise phase followed, lasting 174 minutes and covering a distance of 1,381 nautical miles. The aircraft flew at a steady altitude, maintaining its speed and heading. As it approached its destination, the enroute descent phase began, with the aircraft descending from 34,921 feet to 1,742 feet in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23L at Cairo International Airport was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 229.0 degrees. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots and a touchdown rate of -138 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the aircraft landed 252 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The total landing distance was 1,712 meters, which was 43% of the available runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,640 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 9,495 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 234 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 23L at HECA Cairo International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft was established on the final approach from the north east, heading 229.0° at 4 nm and 1,388 ft above ground level. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 138 kt was achieved, indicating a well-executed approach.
The touchdown point was 252 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -138 fpm was smooth, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and a wind of 8 kt at 269°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,712 m, which accounted for 43% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.9 m from the centreline, which resulted in a score of 92.8%. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with good control and precision demonstrated throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
