Jet Crosswind Landing Technique
Transitioning from Piston Engines to Jets,
On a Crosswind Landing we used the de-crab method and applied aileron into wind just prior touchdown on a piston-engine aircraft like a Cessna 172.
However in a Jet, The aileron into wind might cause a wing-tip strike and undesirable loss of lift due to spoiler deployment. Is it therefore advisable to land with a slight crab in a Jet in a strong cross wind condition? For Example in the A-320.
Cheers, Mav.
