Probably something they should address in training?

CRJ200 no fan of crosswinds

I have about 9000 hours on those wonderful little jets. Crosswinds are a challenge due to a very strong yaw/roll couple (when kicking straight after crabbing in) plus a high roll-rate for a passenger aircraft due to the spoileron/aileron combination on a short wing. In gusty conditions, you can quickly overcorrect into a tip strike.

When we say "kick" it out, we don't really mean kick. Smooth inputs and fly the wing while you're doing it.

If you get a sudden gust in the flare you may need a sudden roll input, but a small input should do it... or buy you time for deeper correction.
