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 16 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,485 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,284 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at GMMX Menara Airport in Marrakech, Morocco. This process took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 28, and the takeoff distance was 4,636 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 80°F temperature and a 3-knot headwind at 280°. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of the airport and reached an altitude of 36,081 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,512 feet from the initial altitude of 2,569 feet. This climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 6 miles east of Berrechid, Morocco, and lasted for 76 minutes, covering a distance of 595 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 1 mile northeast of Novillas, Spain, and descended from 36,037 feet to 1,778 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,259 feet in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 157 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32L at LFBO Toulouse-Blagnac Airport was made from the southeast, heading 323.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 11,485 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots, and the touchdown distance was 1,292 feet. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 127 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -377 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 28 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 61°F temperature and a 6-knot crosswind at 260°, with a 3-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 4,511 feet, accounting for 39% of the runway.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 10 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 864 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 140 minutes. The aircraft used 12,016 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, achieving a score of 96.2%. The final approach to runway 32L was initiated from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 323.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 134 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 1,292 feet was considered good. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was a little fast, but the firm touchdown rate of -377 feet per minute (fpm) ensured a stable landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from 260°. This resulted in a 6-knot crosswind and a 3-knot headwind. The aircraft's alignment with the runway during touchdown was perfect, indicating a high degree of control and precision.
The total landing distance of 4,511 feet was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 28 feet from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing path.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the final approach and touchdown phases.
