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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,142 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 355 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 23, with a takeoff distance of 704 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 126 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 4°C temperature and a wind of 7 knots at 260°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of the airport, and the aircraft ascended from 1,575 feet above sea level to 39,909 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,334 feet in 16 minutes, covering 108 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting overhead Honeoye, New York, and lasting 8 minutes, covering 71 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile north of Lisle, New York, and the aircraft descended from 39,913 feet above sea level to 10,578 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,334 feet in 7 minutes, covering 52 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles east of Charles G. Kalko Airport in Honesdale, Pennsylvania, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile west of Masthope, Pennsylvania, and the aircraft descended from 10,346 feet above sea level to 1,488 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,858 feet in 5 minutes, covering 24 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 4 miles south of Zitone Airport in Montague, New Jersey, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The enroute climb started 2 miles west of Hamburg, New Jersey, and the aircraft climbed from 1,470 feet above sea level to 2,115 feet above sea level, an increase of 645 feet in 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 3 miles southeast of Ogdensburg, New Jersey, and lasting 7 minutes, covering 26 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22R at Newark Liberty International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 206.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,572 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 22R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 353 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 109 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -247 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 11°C temperature and a wind of 14 knots at 270°, with a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 312 nautical miles, taking 54 minutes, and the aircraft used 773 kilograms of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 22R at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport, achieving a score of 97.2%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 206.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,572 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft demonstrated good control during the final approach, with a threshold height that met the required standards. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 116 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 109 knots was slightly faster than the desired speed, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -247 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions may have presented some challenges for the pilot, but the aircraft's performance was satisfactory.
The total landing distance of 838 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a relatively short distance, indicating good control and braking performance.
However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, which may have resulted from a slight deviation in the aircraft's trajectory during the rollout phase. Nevertheless, this deviation was relatively minor and did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall performance of the aircraft.
