Drift angle being the angle between heading and track
Yep, although I admit it could be called crabbing.

one of Mr Boeing’s many approved x wind landing techniques is to land with drift applied up to max authorised x wind limit.
Thanks. Must put a heck of a strain on the u/c and tyres. Still if it's within the limits, I guess they must be designed for it.
