I was talking about flying using "cross controls" during a crosswind landing, most people do it naturally.

Using s turns can mess up your approach, sideslipping keeps you on a constant visual picture during final.

If PPls were also taught how to fly at minimum drag speed, with power, then most approaches would not need side slipping.

Why do most people fly their final approach 20 knots faster than necessary?
