+1 You said it. Flying in RNP 1 airspace, ground track is critical if you want to keep your licence.
Fly an ILS with 25 Kts crosswind.. The only thing that matters is ground track. Drift is compensated for by offset heading (crabbing) but in balance.
IE no rudder input held at all until the flare when you apply rudder to straighten the nose so you don't land sideways.
