Re: Crosswind application(s)
You guys are over thinking this to death, and I wonder if you are all looking at the wrong part of the landing.
First, as someone else has already mentioned, to get the correct drift angle you point the nose in to wind, then adjust as necessary to keep on centreline, simple. Second, I'm thinking his instructor maybe after the actual landing technique, i.e., in the flare you align the aircraft with the runway with rudder and apply into-wind-aileron to stop the aircraft drifting. Touch down one wheel at a time and Bob's your Uncle!
