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 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,618 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,618 m of the 1,891 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 570 m past the threshold — beyond 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 RJ85, then departed from runway 22L at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,168 meters, which was 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 130 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Saint-Laurent-du-Var, France, and climbed from an altitude of 1,006 feet above sea level to 29,721 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,715 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 111 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles south of Bobbio, Italy, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile east of Denno, Italy, and descended from 29,640 feet above sea level to 9,748 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,892 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 80 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting overhead Kundl, Austria, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Hart im Zillertal, Austria, and the aircraft descended from 9,645 feet above sea level to 3,121 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,523 feet, in 6 minutes and covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at Innsbruck Airport was made from the east, heading 259.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,206 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 26, which had a length of 1,891 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 124 knots. However, the touchdown point was 154 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 119 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -252 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 30 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,536 meters, which was 81% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 344 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 77 minutes. The aircraft used 2,549 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI) with a score of 91.6%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 259.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,206 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a clear path to land on runway 26, which has a length of 1,891 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was deemed good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 124 knots. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, at a distance of 154 meters. The touchdown speed of 119 knots was a bit faster than ideal, and the touchdown rate of -252 feet per minute was considered fair.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.9 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C, a wind speed of 6 knots from 30°, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,536 meters was 81% of the runway length, which is a relatively efficient use of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from ideal performance.
