Crosswind landings
The preferred technique is to use rudder to align the aircraft with the runway
heading during the flare while using lateral control to maintain the aircraft on the
runway center line. Routine use of into wind aileron is not recommended, because
sidestick deflection commands roll rate until touchdown.
In strong crosswind conditions, small amounts of lateral control may be used to
maintain wing level. This lateral stick input must be reduced to zero at first main
landing gear touchdown
