Sorry folks, in strong crosswind i.e. 20 kt component or more, when aligning with rudder to centerline a nudge (and release) on the stick is required to keep the wings level. Otherwise the upwind wing goes up and you get blown off. That is for pure crab technique. Normal law will contain the roll, but not prevent it.

Comparing pre-programmed autoland mode to reactive normal law is not fair play. 😉

We agree and apologies for poor grammar of the previous post that in DCT you need to put an aileron and keep it with SS deflection to achieve the same desired result.
