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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 152 m gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 462 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 09 at ENVA Trondheim Airport, Værnes, with a takeoff distance of 1,455 meters, which was 62% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 89°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Hell in Trondelag, Norway. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 94 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 334 meters above sea level to 9,695 meters above sea level.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 14 miles northwest of Dombas in Innlandet, Norway. This phase lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 86 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles southeast of Balestrand in Vestland, Norway. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 65 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 9,608 meters above sea level to 456 meters above sea level.
The final approach to runway 17 at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland, was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 171.0° at an altitude of 403.3 meters above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 17, which had a length of 2,441 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 461 meters, and the touchdown speed was 119 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was firm at -1.7 meters per second, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 150°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 15 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,371 meters, which was 56% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 253 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 64 minutes. The aircraft used 1,808 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland, with a score of 93.7%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 171.0° at an altitude of 403.3 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course, and the landing was executed on runway 17, which has a length of 2,441 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's performance. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 461 meters, and the touchdown speed of 119 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate was firm at -1.7 meters per second, which is a desirable outcome as it indicates a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from 150°.
The crosswind component was relatively low at 6 knots, while the headwind component was 15 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance was 1,371 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centerline, this was not a significant deviation and did not compromise the safety of the landing.
Overall, the landing was executed well, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out on the runway with minimal deviation from the centerline. The score of 93.7% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot and the aircraft's performance during the landing.
