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 rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,634 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 110°. The crosswind component was 14 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Birchanger in Essex, England. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,314 feet above sea level to 4,006 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,692 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north west of Sawbridgeworth in Hertfordshire, England, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 3,991 feet above sea level to 33,006 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,015 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nautical miles. This climb took the aircraft over the English Channel and into French airspace.
The enroute level cruise continued, starting 12 miles south west of Peacehaven in East Sussex, England, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 37 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 33,219 feet above sea level to 34,619 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,400 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise continued, starting 2 miles north of Veulettes-sur-Mer in Normandie, France, and lasted for 40 minutes, covering a distance of 279 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile east of Domaize in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 34,994 feet above sea level to 2,998 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,995 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 145 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again, this time 1 mile south of Istres in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13L at LFML Marseille Provence Airport began, with the aircraft descending from 2,685 feet above sea level to 1,340 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,346 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then landed on runway 13L, with a touchdown distance of 301 meters, which is good. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 140 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -199 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 79°. The crosswind component was 14 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,509 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LFML Marseille Provence Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 134.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,318 feet above ground level (agl). This positioning allowed the aircraft to make a precise approach to runway 13L, which is 3,373 meters in length.
The landing was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway and was at the correct altitude for touchdown. The threshold speed of 147 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 301 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -199 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and winds of 18 knots at 79°. The crosswind component was 14 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain a stable approach and landing, with a total landing distance of 1,509 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high level of proficiency, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed, altitude, and alignment during the approach and landing phases. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
