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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,482 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 144 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a CRJ900 aircraft, which began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UHMP Pevek Airport. This process took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 35, with a takeoff distance of 1,514 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 9°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 351 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of UHMP Pevek Airport and reached an altitude of 16,708 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,638 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 8 miles east of UHMP Pevek Airport and lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 145 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent from a latitude of 69.2000507 and a longitude of 177.7434504, descending from 16,388 feet to 1,585 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,802 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 1 mile west of UHMI Mys Shmidta Airport and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile north of UHMI Mys Shmidta Airport, descending from 1,448 feet to 923 feet above sea level, a decrease of 525 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 5 miles northwest of UHMI Mys Shmidta Airport and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 14 at UHMI Mys Shmidta Airport was made from the northwest, heading 140.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 939 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 14 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 144 meters and a touchdown speed of 119 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -399 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 65 degrees, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,170 meters, accounting for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centreline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 232 nautical miles, taking 67 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,009 kilograms of fuel.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at UHMI Mys Shmidta Airport, achieving a score of 94.7%. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, heading 140.0° at 3 nautical miles and 939 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 14, which has a length of 2,482 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 118 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 144 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 119 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was firm at -399 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.1 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 65°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 1,170 meters was 47% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.9 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the overall performance of the CRJ900 aircraft during the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 94.7%.
