Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 17 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 13 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 44 m.

Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.

See Arrival LandingArrival 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.

Landing report
Landing on runway 03R at FAOR O.R. Tambo International Airport in the Boeing 737-800
Landing Score 70.77 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 03R at O.R. Tambo International Airport, with a threshold height of 67 feet above ground level, exceeding the target. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 146 knots, meeting the desired standard. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it was traveling at a speed of 130 knots, which was within the acceptable range.

The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a touchdown speed that met the target. However, the touchdown rate of -274 feet per minute was slightly below the desired standard. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 15.6 meters. This misalignment persisted during the rollout phase, with the aircraft deviating by 46.1 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,463 meters was 43% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.

The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from 300 degrees, contributed to the landing. The crosswind component of 13 knots and the headwind component of 3 knots were moderate, but did not significantly impact the landing. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 73.4%. However, the significant misalignment during the rollout phase and the slightly below-target touchdown rate were areas for improvement.
