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 4,085 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 263 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777F aircraft. The pre-flight preparations and taxiing process took 12 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile from the parking area to the runway. The aircraft departed from runway 26 at Ben Gurion International Airport (LLBG) in Israel.
The takeoff was successful, with a takeoff distance of 2,380 meters, which is 78% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 173 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 84 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, while the tailwind was 2 knots.
After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead Bet Dagan in the Central District of Israel. The climb was from an altitude of 1,094 feet above sea level to 33,517 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,423 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started 5 miles north of the Al Qatranah Highway Strip in Jordan and lasted for 134 minutes, covering a distance of 1,166 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 22 miles north of 'Ibri in Oman. The descent was from an altitude of 33,541 feet above sea level to 11,735 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,805 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started 7 miles west of Seeb in Oman and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 7 miles north of Muscat in Oman, with the aircraft descending from 10,868 feet above sea level to 3,063 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,805 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of Muscat in Oman and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase started 2 miles southwest of Seeb in Oman, with the aircraft climbing from 2,205 feet above sea level to 3,769 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,563 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northwest of Seeb in Oman and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 12 miles northeast of Muscat in Oman, with the aircraft descending from 3,744 feet above sea level to 3,278 feet above sea level, a decrease of 466 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started 11 miles northeast of Muscat in Oman and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 5 miles northeast of Muscat in Oman, with the aircraft descending from 2,956 feet above sea level to 1,304 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,652 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at Muscat International Airport (OOMS) was from the east, with the aircraft heading 265.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at OOMS Muscat International Airport, achieving a score of 97.3%. The final approach to runway 26R was initiated from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 146 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 265 meters was also considered good. However, the touchdown rate of -289 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.2 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 16 kt from 323°. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 kt and a headwind of 8 kt, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment during landing.
The total landing distance of 1,383 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and runway alignment, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
