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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,790 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,790 m of the 2,092 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 363 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an RJ100, then departed from runway 21 at Perth International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,109 meters, which was 32% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 25°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 240 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both 11 knots. After departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead Cloverdale, a town in the State of Western Australia, Australia. The climb took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 43 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,107 feet above sea level to 27,773 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,666 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles east of Northam, another town in Western Australia. This cruise phase lasted for 45 minutes and covered a distance of 307 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 15 miles west of Yeelirrie Airport, and descended from 27,668 feet above sea level to 3,717 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,951 feet, in 11 minutes and covering 58 nautical miles.
The descent was followed by a brief level cruise, starting 10 miles west of Jundee Airport, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 08 at Jundee Airport, approaching from the west at a heading of 83.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,308 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 111 knots and a touchdown rate of -184 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 363 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 23°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 288 degrees, with a crosswind component of 4 knots and a tailwind component of 9 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 422 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 82 minutes. The aircraft used 3,105 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The RJ100 aircraft successfully landed at YJUN Jundee Airport, achieving a high score of 92.7%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,308 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 08, which has a length of 2,092 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 118 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 363 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 111 knots was also within the desired range. The touchdown rate of -184 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight drift or a minor error in navigation. Additionally, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 288°, resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,707 meters was 82% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight drift or a minor error in control inputs.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory. However, there is room for improvement in terms of navigation and control inputs to achieve a more precise and aligned landing.
