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 4.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,287 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 388 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight, operated by an Airbus A321 aircraft, began with a taxiing period of 11 minutes from the parking area to the runway, covering a distance of approximately 3 nautical miles (nm). The aircraft departed from runway 27 at Bremen Airport (EDDW), utilizing 50% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was reported to be 1,017 meters, with a liftoff speed of 147 knots (kt).
During takeoff, the aircraft encountered a mix of wind conditions, with a crosswind speed of 8 kt and a headwind speed of 15 kt, resulting in a net true airspeed. As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb over the town of Stuhr in Lower Saxony, Germany, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,050 feet (asl) to a maximum altitude of 30,422 feet (asl) in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nm. This notable climb of 29,372 feet demonstrates the aircraft's impressive vertical performance capabilities.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft leveled off and entered its enroute level cruise phase, which started approximately 1 mile northwest of the town of Drage in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. During this 22-minute phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 176 nm. Following this, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent 2 miles east of the Anholt airfield (EKAT) in Region Midtjylland, Denmark, and descended from 29,968 feet (asl) to 1,795 feet (asl) in 15 minutes, covering 66 nm.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 21 at Göteborg Landvetter Airport (ESGG), a 3,287-meter runway from a northeasterly direction. Although the pilot initiated a go-around at an altitude of 388 feet (agl), they eventually completed a successful landing on the same runway. During the landing phase, the aircraft touched down with a speed of 130 kt, slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown distance of 387 meters was deemed adequate, but the touchdown rate was noted as somewhat slow.
Notably, the aircraft's touchdown position on the runway was misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly off by 9.0 meters. Upon taxiing to the parking area, the aircraft covered a distance of less than 1 nm and completed the movement in 5 minutes.
Throughout the flight, the aircraft consumed 3,789 kilograms of fuel, covering a total distance of 321 nm in 73 minutes. Local weather conditions varied during the flight, with temperatures ranging from 19 to 13 degrees Celsius and wind speeds fluctuating between 13 and 16 kt.
A comprehensive report on the landing of the Airbus A321 aircraft has been compiled based on the provided details. The aircraft successfully landed on runway 21 at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport with a score of 96.3%.
The approach to the runway was conducted from the north east with a heading of 206.0° at 4 nautical miles (nm) and 1,291 feet above ground level (agl). This demonstrates a well-controlled approach procedure. The aircraft utilized the runway's length of 3,287 meters to complete the landing.
A good threshold height was achieved during the landing. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots. A touchdown distance of 387 meters was considered good, but the touchdown speed of 130 knots was marginally fast. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -257 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed fair.
During the landing process, the aircraft was subject to local weather conditions with a temperature of 13°C and winds of 13 knots at a direction of 249°. The crosswind and headwind both measured 9 knots, indicating a favorable wind condition. As a result, the aircraft landed safely.
Despite the satisfactory outcome, a runway touchdown position misalignment of 9.3 meters from the centerline could be improved upon. Moreover, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9 meters from the centerline. Nonetheless, with a total landing distance of 1,419 meters, which accounts for only 43% of the runway length, the landing was deemed successful.
Considering the minor issues and the satisfactory overall performance, the landing of the Airbus A321 aircraft at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport can be regarded as effective. Efforts could be made to minimize the misalignments during future landings to achieve even higher scores.
