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 10 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 15 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,642 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 494 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 22R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport in six minutes, covering approximately one nautical mile.
During the departure roll on runway 22R, the Phenom 300E accelerated to a liftoff speed of 121 kt and became airborne after using 1,253 m of runway, representing 45 % of the available length. Ambient conditions were 31 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 132°, a cross-wind component of 6 kt and no head-wind.
Climb commenced over Tessera, Veneto, with the aircraft ascending from 940 ft asl to 36 000 ft asl, a gain of 35 060 ft achieved in 12 minutes while covering 61 nm.
Level cruise began over Poggio Renatico, Emilia-Romagna, and was maintained for 22 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 152 nm.
Descent was initiated 31 miles south-east of Imperia, Liguria, with the aircraft descending from 35 837 ft asl to 1 219 ft asl, a loss of 34 618 ft in 22 minutes while covering 89 nm.
The final approach to runway 04L at LFMN Nice-Côte d’Azur Airport was flown from the south-west on a heading of 44.0° at four nautical miles out and 1 198 ft agl.
Landing on runway 04L, which is 2 642 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 109 kt. Touchdown was recorded 69 m beyond the touchdown zone at 105 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 150 fpm and a lateral deviation of 7.3 m from the centreline. Local weather reported 28 °C, wind 11 kt from 120°, a cross-wind of 11 kt and a head-wind component of 3 kt. The total landing distance measured 1 426 m, equivalent to 54 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted to be slightly off centreline by 10.5 m.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than one minute, covering less than one nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered 309 nm, required 65 (units as reported) and consumed 500 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 04L at LFMN Nice-Côte d’Azur Airport was flown from the south-west on a heading of 44.0° at 4 nm and 1,198 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.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was good at 109 kt.
Touchdown occurred 69 m beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 105 kt that was good and a touchdown rate of -150 fpm that was good; the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 m from centreline.
The rollout showed a slight misalignment of 10.5 m from centreline and the total landing distance was 1,426 m, representing 54 % of the 2,642 m runway.
Focus on improving centreline tracking to reduce the 7.3 m touchdown offset and the 10.5 m rollout drift, which will tighten alignment without altering the already stabilised approach or speed parameters.
