Is this correct technique for E145? Not sure of the wind speed.

If you look closely, the PF is decrabbing, as it touches down, wings level, in a diminishing crab angle. Could have decrabbed a bit more, but hard to say, not knowing the plane. Smoke comes off the mains nearly simultaneously, firm touch without the plane bouncing or rolling because of the decrabbing of the gear. Probably 20 knots, perhaps 25.

Can’t say what the Embraer manual says on crosswind techniques, but it looks reasonable.
