As a single engine pilot with modest experience, I am reading this thread with interest. I NORMALLY look to learn from the professionals on this form.
BUT. I see a lack of concensus on this one.
My takeaway so far is that x/w landings are a black art, and pilots expercise a variety of technique from crab to wing-down and all shades inbetween. This surprises me, for most other aspects of aviation have standard procedures. If this is the case then it must be due to a large extent on the "relatively" broad handling tolerance across a range of commerical aircraft.
Some more structured comments would help to diminish my view that x/w is a black-art....
