Question Crosswind landing A320

Good morning,

Airbus says we are allowed to do a max 5° crab angle on touchdown. So far so good. What im observing in training and outside in the real aircraft is that people land pretty often with a crab more than 5° with strong crosswinds( DUB, MAN, LIS). Same in the simulator. Many pilots are not familiar with the actual strong pressure you need to get out the crab to acceptable values.

My question is: did you observe the same? And where do you read the crab angle? ND? Sometimes this indication seems not fully reliable (visually aligned but the crab angle on the ND is above 5°) Would appreciate your help in this.

Happy Cwlandings guys!
