A fully crabbed landing on the other hand does not sound very comfortable to me.
So are there any 737 drivers who land it fully crabbed in strong crosswinds? How does that work out? Very curious
Full crabbed landing is not recommended because the gear is not designed for side stress. In 747 on wet a runway it was recommended to land with crab. On a wet runway the aircraft on touch down with the crab will skid sideways before straightening. This reduces the side load. Interestingly which big aircraft is only side slip zero crab landing is recommended?
