No I don't think he is. I would think crab angle is when you are wings level
and due to a crosswind you have to have your nose into wind to track in line with the runway.

A good lesson for doing a good pre-flight. Start even before you get to the a/c. Does it look ship shape? (Maybe the refuel truck backed into it)

Air checks.

Up to twin commuters, I've never seen an obvious checklist, except one A/c had a row of tabs mounted in line of sight on top of the panel. Flick 'em one way for T.O. and back again before landing.
