Improve the 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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,080 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,080 ft of the 10,739 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,756 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 taxied from the parking area to runway 02R at ZGGG Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport in 11 minutes, covering 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 02R, the aircraft used 6,404 ft of runway, representing 63 % of the available length, and lifted off at 160 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 89 °F, wind from 319° at 5 kt with a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile north of ZGGG, with the airplane accelerating from 1,023 ft asl to 24,511 ft asl, an altitude gain of 23,489 ft achieved in 11 minutes while covering 63 nm.
A level cruise segment began 6 nm south of Daliang, lasting 5 minutes and extending over 39 nm.
The next climb started 5 nm southwest of VMMC Macau International Airport, raising the aircraft from 24,605 ft asl to 35,378 ft asl, an increase of 10,773 ft in 13 minutes and traversing 99 nm.
A descent was initiated at latitude 20.4409022 longitude 113.5541953, lowering the flight from 35,373 ft asl to 33,362 ft asl, a loss of 2,011 ft in 2 minutes while covering 12 nm.
Subsequent level cruise began at latitude 20.2550086 longitude 113.6171468, lasting 3 minutes and spanning 23 nm.
Another climb started at latitude 20.2069977 longitude 114.0080311, increasing altitude from 33,447 ft asl to 35,650 ft asl, a gain of 2,203 ft in 3 minutes over 27 nm.
A prolonged cruise segment originated at latitude 19.7772265 longitude 113.8738213, continuing for 146 minutes and covering 1,154 nm.
Descent commenced 38 nm northeast of WMBT Tioman Airport, reducing altitude from 35,559 ft asl to 1,298 ft asl, a decrease of 34,261 ft in 22 minutes across 122 nm.
The final approach to runway 20R at WSSS Singapore Changi Airport was flown from the north on a heading of 202.0° at 4 nm and 1,278 ft agl.
Landing on runway 20R, which is 10,701 ft long, was executed with a threshold speed of 140 kt. Touchdown occurred 365 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 134 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 245 fpm; runway alignment was reported as perfect. Local weather at the time was a temperature of 84 °F, wind from 140° at 14 kt, a 12 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind component.
The rollout distance measured 4,789 ft, representing 45 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout was described as very good.
Overall, the flight covered 1,549 nm, required 216 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 17,071 lb of fuel.
