Nice video on crosswind landings
 

Crosswind Landings during a storm at Düsseldorf B777,767,757 A330 Sturm Andrea, (watch in HD) - YouTube!

I noticed almost all the aircraft landing in the video are lined up downwind of the centerline. I personally was taught to line up upwind. These guys did an amazing job except for the 75 that lands on his nose wheel. What is everyone's technique?

It doesn't really matter where you start...it's where you finish. Notice that all but one guy still landed on the centerline? I've always found it easier to land wing down and sliding back into the wind...not letting the wind slide me back toward the center.

I always try to start on centerline and stay on centerline. Any drift either direction isn't intentional, but in feeling out the wind I may tend to drift downwind slightly until getting it figured out.

CRJ did the best job. :D

I agree! With a very short landing gear and and wingtips very close to the ground, there is definitely smaller margin for error and a smaller widow to pull it off successfully. The CRJ is a much more squirrely aircraft in a crosswind than the Boeing's I currently fly.

Watch the front cockpit window in relation to the center-line. What you are seeing is; most pilots put themselves on the center-line and then when they kick in the rudder, it rotates the A/C around the CG, effectively moving the cockpit down wind. Then they must put aileron into the wind and slip back up-wind to get back on center-line.

Watch all the landings again, only not looking at the aircraft, but only the front cockpit window as it tracks in relation to center-line.

I do what it takes to land that b1tch.

Great video, thanks for sharing!

They must fly more legs or something.
