Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 61 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 61 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 685 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
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 1,832 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,832 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 685 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 30 at LIPE Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport, a movement that required 11 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 30, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,433 m, representing 58 % of the runway, and lifted off at 157 kt. Ambient conditions were 26 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 210°, a cross-wind component of 6 kt and no head-wind.
Climb commenced 1 mile south-west of Calderara di Reno, with the airplane climbing from 971 ft asl to 34,834 ft asl, an increase of 33,864 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 110 nm.
The first cruise segment began 2 miles south of Mugnano, lasting 27 minutes and extending over 209 nm at level flight.
Descent started overhead Sessa Cilento, where the aircraft descended from 35,011 ft asl to 2,997 ft asl, a loss of 32,014 ft completed in 22 minutes and spanning 129 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 3 miles north-west of Crotone, lasting 13 minutes and covering 37 nm before the final approach.
The final approach to runway 17 at LIBC Crotone Airport was flown from the north, on a heading of 169.0° at 4 nm and 1,483 ft agl.
Landing on runway 17 was performed on a runway 1,832 m long; the threshold height of 61 ft agl was above target and the threshold speed of 144 kt was slightly above target. Touchdown occurred 269 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 136 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 270 fpm and very good alignment. Local weather reported 30 °C, wind 8 kt from 40°, a cross-wind component of 6 kt and a tail-wind component of 5 kt.
The rollout distance measured 2,036 m, equal to 111 % of the runway length, and the aircraft’s centreline alignment was off by 17.0 m at the end of the roll.
After exiting the runway, the Boeing 737-800 taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 493 nm, took 93 minutes, and consumed 4,240 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 entered final approach to runway 17 at LIBC Crotone Airport from the north on a heading of 169.0° at 4 nm and 1,483 ft agl; the approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high.
At threshold the aircraft was 61 ft agl, which was above the target height, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 144 kt.
Touchdown occurred 269 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 136 kt, described as a little fast, and the vertical speed was fair at minus 270 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 2,036 m, representing 111 % of the runway length, and rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.0 m from the centreline.
To improve the score, focus on achieving a stabilized approach that meets sink-rate limits and on maintaining centreline tracking during rollout to reduce the 17 m deviation.
