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 16 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 2,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 424 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 25 at EPKK Kraków John Paul II International Airport, a movement that required 6 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 25, the take-off run was 1,385 m, representing 60 % of the available runway, and the aircraft lifted off at 161 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 19 °C, wind 17 kt from 240°, with a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 16 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead Morawica, lifting the airplane from 1,770 ft asl to 37,969 ft asl, an altitude gain of 36,199 ft achieved in 23 minutes while covering 134 nm.
Level cruise began 4 miles east of Surany in Slovakia and continued for 67 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 461 nm.
Descent was initiated 6 miles north-east of LIRF Rome-Fiumicino, descending from 37,283 ft asl to 1,223 ft asl, a loss of 36,059 ft over 29 minutes and a distance of 138 nm.
The final approach to runway 23 at LIEO Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport was flown from the north-east, on a heading of 235.0°, at 4 nm and 1,190 ft agl.
Landing on runway 23, which is 2,441 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 151 kt. Touchdown was recorded at 417 m from the threshold, at a speed of 146 kt, and the vertical speed was minus 64 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good. Local weather at the time was a temperature of 35 °C, wind 14 kt from 269°, with an 8 kt cross-wind and a 12 kt head-wind component.
The total landing distance measured 1,394 m, equivalent to 57 % of the runway length, and the rollout was offset by 16.2 m from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 741 nm, required 128 minutes, and consumed 5,061 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 entered the final approach to runway 23 at LIEO Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport from the north-east on a heading of 235.0° at 4 nm and 1,190 ft agl, with temperature 35 °C, wind 14 kt from 269°, a crosswind component of 8 kt and a headwind component of 12 kt. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was well above target at 151 kt. The flare was executed with the aircraft positioned 417 m from the runway threshold, which was judged good.
Touchdown occurred with a speed of 146 kt, described as a little fast, and a vertical rate of minus 64 fpm, rated excellent. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,394 m, representing 57 % of the 2,441 m runway, and the rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.2 m from the centreline.
To tighten performance, reduce touchdown speed toward the target by refining flare timing, and maintain centreline tracking during rollout to keep lateral deviation within a few metres.
