Improve the rollout
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,962 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 481 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 23L at EGCC Manchester Airport, a movement that required 12 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23L, the Boeing 737-800 accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,618 m, representing 56 % of the runway, and lifted off at 159 kt; ambient temperature was 23 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 359°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead Mobberley, Cheshire East, England, with the aircraft ascending from 1,164 ft asl to 34,993 ft asl-a gain of 33,829 ft-over 20 minutes while traversing 129 nm.
Level cruise began when the aircraft passed overhead Charvil, Wokingham, England, and was maintained for 147 minutes, during which 1,091 nm were covered.
Descent was initiated 12 mi west of Durres, Albania, with the flight descending from 34,735 ft asl to 670 ft asl, a loss of 34,064 ft, in 35 minutes and over a distance of 178 nm.
The final approach to runway 16 at LGKR Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport was flown from the north on a heading of 170.0° at 1 nm and 646 ft agl.
Landing on runway 16 was executed with a runway length of 1,966 m; the threshold speed was slightly above target at 143 kt, touchdown occurred 65 m beyond the touchdown zone at 132 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 214 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 3.2 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 36 °C, wind 8 kt from 240°, an 8 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind. Total landing distance measured 1,437 m, equivalent to 73 % of the runway.
Runway rollout showed a lateral deviation of 21.7 m from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,404 nm, required 214 minutes, and consumed 8,308 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 conducted the final approach to runway 16 at LGKR Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport from the north, tracking a heading of 170.0 ° at 1 nm and 646 ft agl. Local conditions were a temperature of 36 °C, wind 8 kt from 240 °, providing an 8 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good height and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 143 kt.
Touchdown occurred 65 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 132 kt, which was judged good, and a vertical rate of -214 fpm, rated fair. The touchdown point was misaligned by 3.2 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,437 m, representing 73 % of the 1,966 m runway, and the aircraft’s path was misaligned by 21.7 m from the centreline during rollout.
Refine rollout alignment to keep the aircraft closer to centreline and adjust the flare to achieve a touchdown point nearer the intended zone, which will further improve the already strong 89.9 % score.
