Crosswind Landing Techniques

Three methods of performing crosswind landings are presented. They are the de-crab technique (with removal of crab in flare), touchdown in a crab, and the sideslip technique. Whenever a crab is maintained during a crosswind approach, offset the flight deck on the upwind side of centerline so that the main gear touches down in the center of the runway.
Had to point this out to the SFI/TRI etc on my last manual handling sim when he mentioned I was slightly left of the centre line in a crabbed landing
You got to love it when the teachers don't even know what they are teaching
