De-Crab, Crab, and Sideslip!

The aircraft was on a slight left bank still when the gust hit.
Recently i got caught up watching compilations of crosswind landings on the internet.The skill of professional pilots just blows me away.I have so much respect for them! However, it would be more breathtaking if i could see these landings live.That's if no people dies of course!


Many pilots, unfortunately, are simply unable to fly as often as they wish. And they elect not to fly in crosswinds, which could test their ability to handle them. It’s no wonder our crosswind ability is often one of our first pilot skills to get rusty, making it a major cause of flying accidents.
