Pod strike will occur at 16 deg angle of bank with the gear compressed, or 18 degrees with the gear uncompressed.
The manufacturer recommends a wings level approach and landing with a maximum of 5 degrees of less of bank, and a maximum 5 degrees of crab for stronger crosswinds. They don’t recommend landing it like a C172 at high winds.
Light crosswinds can by flown with a GA side slip technique or the normal wings level technique.
The basics are the same. Whether it be a 172 or a 747. Operated them both.
"When you can touch down, at max demonstrated crosswind for the aircraft type, on the centre line, the aircraft heading and track the same as the runway direction and maintain the above. Then you can land crosswind. This is what we aim to do right? Well if it can't be done, then it could be argued the handling pilot does not have full control of the aircraft. Or does he or she?"
