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.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,768 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 38 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Teterboro Airport (KTEB), the Phenom 300E began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted 19 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 01, utilizing 466 meters, or 28% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 123 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 21°C, with a wind of 9 knots at 20°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 9-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 97 nautical miles in 17 minutes, increasing its altitude from 1,043 feet above sea level to 44,225 feet. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted 90 minutes, covering a distance of 752 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated its descent, reducing its altitude from 46,057 feet to 20,581 feet in 13 minutes, while covering 86 nautical miles. This descent phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its final descent, decreasing its altitude from 19,808 feet to 11,391 feet in 7 minutes, while covering 41 nautical miles.
The Phenom 300E continued its descent, reducing its altitude from 11,394 feet to 1,738 feet in 6 minutes, while covering 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated its final approach to runway 23 at Naples Municipal Airport (KAPF), aligning itself with the runway from the northeast. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 102 knots and a touchdown distance of 37 meters. The total landing distance was 420 meters, or 28% of the runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 1,043 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 159 minutes and a fuel consumption of 1,183 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 23 at KAPF Naples Municipal Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -355 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 102 kt was within the acceptable range, and the threshold speed of 103 kt was also satisfactory. The touchdown distance of 37 m was good, demonstrating a high degree of precision in the approach and landing phase.
The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 31 °C and a wind of 7 kt at 280 °, presented a moderate headwind component of 4 kt, which was effectively managed during the approach. The crosswind component of 6 kt was also well-handled, resulting in a stable and controlled approach.
The rollout phase was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 420 m, which represented 28% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 18.1 m from the centreline, which was the only notable deviation from an otherwise excellent landing. Overall, the landing was scored 91.9%, reflecting the high degree of precision and control demonstrated throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
