As a student my instructor insisted I use, what has been described here as the ‘combination’ xwind landing method. His view on a ‘wing low’ approach was “Why cross your controls and increase your stalling speed when you are already low and slow?”
I have read this thread with interest but have not seen any mention of this.
He did eventually teach me both, but always warned me to keep my approach speed a little higher when making a ‘wing low’ approach compared to making a ‘crabbed’ approach.
Was he wrong?
