Has anyone ever seen an airliner not crabbing
I flew Boeing 757s for 5 years in the 1990s. Crabbing or wing down were both approved and various crews had their preferred methods. As we were dual rated on the 767 (and could see both types in a working day) I restricted myself to crabbing as I didn't want the bill for a pod scrape on the '67
The wingdown experts on the '57 used to achieve some alarming angles of bank, in very strong crosswinds, which I dealt with by closing my eyes
