Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 7.7 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 6.2° of bank in the first climb segment and 3.1° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,629 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,629 m of the 3,196 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 404 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 to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 31L at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,656 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 219 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles west of the airport and reaching a height of 36,067 feet above sea level. This climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 98 nautical miles, with an increase in altitude of 34,622 feet.
After the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Illmitz in Austria and lasted for 45 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 279 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began, starting 1 mile south east of Weigenheim in Germany and lasting for 33 minutes. The aircraft descended from a height of 36,114 feet to 2,869 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles and decreasing in altitude by 33,245 feet.
The final approach to runway 21 at EDFH Frankfurt-Hahn Airport was made from the north east, with a heading of 213.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,246 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 21, which has a length of 3,196 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was above the target speed of 150 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 405 meters, but the touchdown speed of 141 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -205 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.3 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -1 degree Celsius and a wind speed of 27 knots from a direction of 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 24 knots. The total landing distance was 1,543 meters, which is 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.9 meters from the centreline.
The final taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 504 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 111 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,964 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EDFH Frankfurt-Hahn Airport, with a score of 92.3%. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 213.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,246 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a clear path to land on runway 21, which has a length of 3,196 meters.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft touched down at the correct point on the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed of 150 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's approach speed being slightly higher than intended. The touchdown distance of 405 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown.
Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 141 kt was a little fast, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -205 feet per minute (fpm). This is considered fair, but could be improved upon in future landings. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 10.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 27 kt from 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 kt and a headwind of 24 kt, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. The total landing distance of 1,543 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the wind conditions.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was again misaligned by 16.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's direction after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and alignment during the rollout.
