Now the tricky part using the rudder is for De-Crab during flare at approximately 20ft as you retard the Thrust levers and hold that pitch. Must take some considerable practice. I know most airlines don’t allow new Cadets with certain wind factor and hours on type to do any crosswind landing or takeoff
It’s not tricky at all really, but it does take some practice. You flare as normal at circa 20’ still crabbed, then retard the thrust levers then as you are about to “impact” the runway you squeeze the appropriate rudder pedal to align the aeroplane with the rudder, you must also apply the opposite aileron to prevent the roll effect of the rudder input.
