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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,822 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 471 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hannover Airport, the aircraft began its journey on runway 27L, taking off with a distance of 735 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 320°. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 138 knots, with a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute level, it began its ascent from an altitude of 1,313 feet above sea level, eventually reaching 24,001 feet. This increase in altitude of 22,688 feet was achieved in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 43 nautical miles. Following a brief cruise phase, the aircraft commenced its descent, reducing its altitude from 24,000 feet to 1,379 feet in 24 minutes, while covering 118 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 36R at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was initiated from a heading of 3.0°, 4 nautical miles from the runway, at an altitude of 1,378 feet above ground level.
The aircraft executed a go-around at an altitude of 147 feet above ground level before successfully landing on runway 36R. The touchdown distance of 471 meters was within acceptable limits, with a touchdown speed of 108 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -328 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, despite a slightly misaligned runway rollout alignment of 12.7 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,126 meters accounted for 40% of the runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 2 minutes. The total flight distance of 290 nautical miles was achieved in 70 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 1,018 kilograms.
The aircraft, C750, successfully executed a final approach to runway 36R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol from the south, aligning with the runway at a heading of 3.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,378 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 118 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down at a speed of 108 knots, which was also within the desired parameters.
The touchdown characteristics were good, with a firm touchdown rate of -328 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of precision in the pilot's control of the aircraft during the final stages of the approach. The touchdown distance of 471 meters was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 6°C and winds of 23 knots at 320°, presented a moderate challenge, but the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,126 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway length, was satisfactory. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path. Despite this, the overall performance of the pilot and the aircraft was good, with a final score of 92.5%. This score reflects the pilot's ability to execute a safe and controlled approach and landing, despite the moderate weather conditions and the slight deviation during the rollout phase.
