When you kick it straight in the flare,isn,t it a tendency to float or balloon past you,r desired touchdown point.That,s what I seen a lot of times specially with sweep wing long haulers.I tried a 767 sim some years ago and what worked best for me was either side slip early or land crabbed.But then ago I am no pro.To me it looks that one wing get more lift from the wind,and the other wing from the dropping aileron,This and the groundeffect and it was very easy to overshoot. Is this the reason why so many land in crab on short runways with crosswind?I sometimes in me free time work as a freelance aviation writer,so i hope I been apologized for asking on a forum which is ment mostly for all of you,r professionals out there.
