The recommended de-crab technique is to use all of the following:
‐ The rudder to align the aircraft with the runway heading during the flare
‐ The roll control, if needed, to maintain the aircraft on the runway centerline. Any tendency to drift downwind should be counteracted by an appropriate lateral (roll) input on the sidestick.
In the case of strong crosswind, in the de-crab phase, the PF should be prepared to add small bank angle into the wind in order to maintain the aircraft on the runway centerline. The aircraft may be landed with a partial de-crab (residual crab angle up to about 5 °) to prevent an excessive bank. This technique prevents wingtip/sharklet (or engine nacelle) strike caused by an excessive bank angle.
As a consequence, this may result in touching down with some bank angle into the wind (hence
with the upwind landing gear first).
I´ve got an FCTM too and I read it carefully!!
