Don't we put the cockpit on the flare so the mains touch down on the centerline? Isn't that how autoland works? I remember as a junior FO, my leg, on an MD80 with a 30 knot crosswind in Vegas having the cockpit almost over the runway edge lights to land on the centerline with the mains. Also with the left 60 degree crosswind wouldn't that have taken out the right edge lights instead of the left? Sounds more like some PIO's to touchdown I've seen .
