a lovely way of saying it. most planes will do just fine with the crab and decrab very close to the runway, over the runway, at very , very low altitude (way under 50')
I understand why so many like the wing down method. It means they are lacking in skill, technique, and the courage to take the plane down close to the ground and do many things at once.
kick rudder
lower wing
bring nose up
and all this done at the same time or nearly so. sort of hard like walking and chewing gum at the same time.
And while we are at it, you can even use assymetrical thrust to help you along. Many will doubt this, but it is usually a lack of skill which could be developed if you like. Try it in the sim on a non jeopardy ride.
There are pilots that get by and then there are pilots that are fully in command of an aircraft.
choose the type of pilot YOU want to be.
