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 7.8 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 1,000 ft and 500 ft 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 400 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 35 at EGAA Belfast International Airport, a movement that lasted 13 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 35, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 155 kt, using a takeoff distance of 1,286 m which represented 72 % of the runway; local weather reported a temperature of 16 °C, wind 4 kt from 345°, with a 0 kt cross-wind and a 4 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead EGAA, rising from 1,220 ft asl to 37,013 ft asl - an increase of 35,794 ft - in 22 minutes while covering 157 nm.
Cruise began 1 mile south of Croft (Warrington, England) and persisted for 536 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 366 nm.
Descent was initiated 2 miles north of Oberhausen (Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany), descending from 37,001 ft asl to 1,604 ft asl - a loss of 35,397 ft - in 23 minutes and covering 136 nm.
The final approach to runway 07R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was flown from the south-west, on a heading of 70.0° at 4 nm and 1,250 ft agl.
Landing on runway 07R, which is 3,987 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 146 kt; touchdown was recorded at 406 m down the runway with a speed of 141 kt and a smooth vertical rate of minus 139 fpm, and the aircraft aligned perfectly with the centreline. Weather at the time was 22 °C, wind 6 kt from 339°, cross-wind 5 kt and head-wind 0 kt.
The total landing distance measured 1,391 m, representing 35 % of the runway, and the rollout was offset by 8.0 m from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered 668 nm, took 108 (units as provided), and consumed 4,573 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 commenced its final approach to runway 07R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport from the south-west, maintaining a heading of 70.0° at 4 nm and 1,250 ft AGL. Local weather was 22 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 339°, giving a 5 kt crosswind component and no headwind.
Threshold height was good, and the aircraft crossed the threshold at a speed of 146 kt, which was slightly above the target.
Touchdown occurred 406 m down the runway, a distance judged good, with a speed of 141 kt that was a little fast. The vertical rate at touchdown was smooth at -139 fpm and runway alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance measured 1,391 m, representing 35 % of the 3,987 m runway, and rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 m from the centreline.
Reduce the touchdown speed to bring it closer to the target, which will also help limit the 8.0 m centreline deviation observed during rollout. Fine-tuning speed control on final approach should tighten both parameters while preserving the overall score of 97.9%.
