Improve the 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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 422 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 17L at Calgary International Airport (CYYC) in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The takeoff distance was 1,519 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 180°. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 8 knots. The enroute climb started shortly after departure, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 4,658 feet above sea level to 36,063 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,405 feet in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 91 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 22 miles northeast of Brooks Regional Airport (CYBP) in Brooks, Alberta, Canada, and lasted for 19 minutes, covering a distance of 425 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 9 miles west of Rivers, Manitoba, Canada, and descended from an altitude of 36,823 feet above sea level to 2,069 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,755 feet in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 126 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 8.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,281 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 36, which had a length of 3,357 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 423 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -250 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 39°. The crosswind was 9 knots, and the headwind was 15 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,139 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 650 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 63 minutes. The aircraft used 3,809 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) with a score of 97.4%. The final approach to runway 36 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 8.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -250 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centreline, being off by 7.7 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 39°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. The total landing distance of 1,139 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed and misaligned touchdown position, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
