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 1,877 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,877 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 472 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 31R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 153 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,630 meters accounted for 44% of the available runway length, with the aircraft clearing the ground at a height of 1,449 feet above sea level.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from Budapest, reaching an altitude of 14,397 feet above sea level in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft eventually leveling off at 14,449 feet. This initial cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes, covering a further 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated a second climb phase, this time reaching an altitude of 33,845 feet above sea level in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 90 nautical miles. The subsequent cruise phase, which lasted for 9 minutes, saw the aircraft maintain a steady altitude while covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent into Munich Airport, it initiated a gradual descent from 34,007 feet above sea level, eventually touching down on runway 26L after a total descent distance of 1,800 meters, accounting for 45% of the available runway length. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly above the target, while the touchdown rate of -242 feet per minute was considered fair. The aircraft's rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance of 319 nautical miles was achieved in 76 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 3,202 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport from the east was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 264.0° at 4 nm and 1,289 ft above ground level. The approach was conducted in a 3,987 m runway environment, with a suitable threshold height allowing for a smooth touchdown. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed.
The aircraft touched down 59 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 136 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -242 fpm was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration upon touchdown. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the slight deviation in threshold speed. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8 °C and a headwind of 8 kt, contributed to the overall approach and landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,800 m was 45% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of control and precision during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 98.3%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
