Crosswind landings
Ok, simple question: how to JETLINER pilots do crosswind langings? I've heard/seen conflicting stuff.
Most pilots I've heard on the subject say they land the same way a GA plane will: cross-controlled with the upwind wing low and opposite rudder to hold the centerline, touching down on one main first. But I've seen pictures/video of jetliners touching down still in a full crap and an old friend today (who currently flies for Colgan) said they need to side-load onto the runway because of the risk of engine/wingtip strikes, and that the main gear is specifically designed for heavy side-loading.
So what's the technique??
