Yep I've said it before in this thread and I'll say it again......

I only introduce the "de crab" slip during the flare, I don't fly a sideslip approach.....I've seen it done in Jets and I didn't like it.

I've flown the IGS in HK with a gusty crosswind lining up at 500' on approach around the corner between the roof tops in a 744 at 160 KIAS during a Typhoon.

Then used the Boeing trained "de crab" manoeuvre in the flare

I'm still here alive and the Aircraft ain't bent.....
