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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 447 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 18 at LYPG Podgorica Airport / Podgorica Golubovci Airbase. The takeoff distance was 1,356 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 14°C and wind speeds of 4 knots at 334°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 3 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile east of Mojanovici, a town in Podgorica, Montenegro. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,090 feet above sea level to 37,922 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,831 feet, in 19 minutes and covering 113 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the enroute level cruise started 4 miles east of Voljevac, a town in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The cruise lasted for 33 minutes and covered 251 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 2 miles south of Krakauschatten, a town in Steiermark, Austria. The descent from 37,322 feet above sea level to 2,839 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,484 feet, took 22 minutes and covered 110 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport was made from the east, heading 264.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,362 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway, which had a length of 3,987 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 135 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 448 meters, but the touchdown speed at 127 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -185 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 5°C and wind speeds of 14 knots at 249°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 14 knots. The total landing distance was 1,290 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft took 6 minutes to taxi to the parking from the runway, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 482 nautical miles, which was covered in 86 minutes. The aircraft used 3,795 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 264.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,362 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 135 knots, indicating a slight over-speed. However, the touchdown distance of 448 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -185 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the landing roll. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from 249°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots, which may have contributed to the slight over-speed during touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,290 meters was 32% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the process.
