Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 11 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival 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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,672 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,672 m of the 3,034 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 503 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Milan Malpensa International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 35R, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 27 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 8 kt from 219 °. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 151 kt, having covered 55% of the 1,644-meter runway.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south west of Casorate Sempione. The climb phase was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, from 530 meters above sea level to 11,475 meters, a rise of 10,945.4 meters in just 21 minutes. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, which lasted for 43 minutes and covered a distance of 303 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent, which began overhead Incheville, France, and ended with the aircraft descending from 11,360 meters to 789 meters above sea level, a decrease of 10,570.5 meters in 32 minutes. The final approach to London Stansted Airport was initiated, and the aircraft touched down on runway 22, having covered a total distance of 1,596 meters, which was 58% of the 2,744-meter runway.
The landing was slightly above target in terms of threshold height and speed, but the touchdown speed of 150 kt was fast, and the touchdown rate of -1.3 m/s was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 626 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 125 minutes, during which the aircraft consumed 4,438 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport, with a threshold height of 16.8 meters above ground level, slightly above the target. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a heading of 223.0° from the north east at 4 nautical miles and 390.8 meters above ground level. The threshold speed of 154 knots was significantly above the target, indicating a high level of pilot control during the approach.
The touchdown point was located 91 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 150 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate of -1.3 meters per second was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration upon touchdown. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 11 knots. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind of 13 knots at 280°, contributed to the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,596 meters was 58% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to the pilot's attempt to maintain directional control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 93.9%, reflecting a satisfactory but not exceptional landing.
