Improve the rollout
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,923 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 598 m past the threshold — beyond 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 13 at FHAW RAF Ascension Island. The takeoff distance was 1,120 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and winds of 18 knots at 247 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a tailwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of FHAW RAF Ascension Island Cat Hill, and climbed from 1,262 feet above sea level to 40,005 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,743 feet, in 40 minutes and covering 247 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started at a latitude of -5.0250752 and a longitude of -11.4560505, and lasted for 80 minutes, covering 948 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 76 miles south of Anloga, and descended from 40,363 feet above sea level to 1,756 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,607 feet, in 9 minutes and covering 187 nautical miles. The descent was followed by a brief level cruise, which started 6 miles east of Ifo and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18R at DNMM Murtala Muhammed International Airport was made from the north, heading 179.0 degrees, at 4 nautical miles and 1,289 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 184 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -187 feet per minute, which was also good. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and winds of 7 knots at 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,126 meters, which is 29% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,399 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 137 minutes. The aircraft used 9,434 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at DNMM Murtala Muhammed International Airport, achieving a high score of 96.0%. The final approach to runway 18R was conducted from the north, with a heading of 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots. The touchdown point was located 184 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -187 feet per minute was also good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing performance was satisfactory.
The total landing distance was 1,126 meters, which is approximately 29% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent during the landing.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at DNMM Murtala Muhammed International Airport was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good landing performance despite the challenging weather conditions.
