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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,351 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 345 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A320 was a smooth and efficient operation from start to finish. The taxi from the parking area to the runway at KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport took 6 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nm. The departure roll on runway 34L was successful, with a takeoff distance of 1,471 m and a liftoff speed of 155 kn. Despite some crosswind and headwind, the takeoff was executed without any issues.
During the enroute climb, the aircraft ascended from 5,244 ft asl to 36,869 ft asl in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nm. The enroute level cruise lasted for 43 minutes over a distance of 339 nm. The descent from 36,811 ft asl to 3,905 ft asl was completed in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nm. The final approach to runway 11L at KTUS Tucson International Airport was impeccable, with good speed and alignment for touchdown. Despite some crosswind, the landing was smooth and the aircraft touched down at 125 kn with a smooth touchdown rate of -143 ft/m.
The total landing distance was 1,389 m, representing 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxi from the runway to the parking area took only 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 549 nm, and the aircraft used 3,426 kg of fuel during the 90-minute flight. Overall, the flight in the Airbus A320 was a successful and efficient journey from takeoff to landing.
Congratulations on achieving an outstanding aircraft landing score of 99.4%! Your performance in each phase of the landing process was exceptional and demonstrates a high level of skill and precise execution.
