I just want to point out that there isn't actually any regulation legally preventing you from landing if you are exceeding the max demonstrated crosswind. Some airlines and flight schools might have their own policies however. Obviously safety and proficiency are things to be aware of if you plan on exceeding it. Other than that, nice video!
The techniques are just like you described but you do not land sideways on a crab angle cuz that might actually break your landing gear and is gonna be such a violent hit that you could lose control, another thing is when you are landing with a crosswind component you should keep applying aileron to the wind on your rollout after touchdown, cuz the plane is still producing lift and the wing flip over like it did in your vídeo cuz you let go off the aileron after touching down!
How is your rudder so smooth? Every time I land in even a slight crosswind like 2-10 knots, if I apply any rudder after touch down the aircraft tips instantly and I crash.
Use a negative sensitivity for the rudders. MSFS menu -> Controls -> Select your hardware -> Sensitivity -> Select the rudder input (you can move it around to see which axis it is) -> then choose a negative sensitivity by dragging the slider. I use -75 to have fine control close to the center. Similarly to control the ailerons.
Working Titles's G1000 has flightpath vector indicator (like on fighter jets' HUD) so it easier to eyeball the crab simply by aligning FVI with runway in synthetic vision mode.
You shouldn't crab in a cross wind unless you're flying a key liner where using aileron and rudder would place your wings dangerous low. So technically you're doing it the right way and he's not in the video lol
Thank you for clarifying and revisiting that one :)
Nice instruction video, I did not know the wing low technique, thanks,
You sir make amazing videos
Another great tutorial! Thanks for posting,

I should really buy pedals, Saitek Pro Flight or the Thrustmaster T-Flight pedals (those are the only ones that are in stock and not to expensive)
I just got the saitek and I really like them, horrible with them but I'm a noob, but totally worth it
Thanks, good video TomSWFL

@@scottmeijer2870 Thank you!
Like anything else while aviating, the trick is also to not over correct as well
Crab and kick. Never land with crab angle. This is technique used by larger jets and airliners and low wing aircraft. Thanks for video. No offense.
@P Gatcomb where are ya from? Robertson airport is like 10 minutes away from me
Can u make another video of simplerockets 2?
How do I contact you offline? thanks
... I am incompetent. I can’t line up the crab. I always resort to aim with the ruder stabilise with aileron.

@@cptairwolf thanks. Now I’m going have to rewatch the video. As I do not remember what he said :p
@@cptairwolf he mentions that at the end of the video.
@@cptairwolf exactly. You’ll sideload the thing soooo baddd
You landed a Cessna still in the crab/ landing sideways and said that's a viable technique? Seriously?
What’s what happens when you’ve never flown a plane irl.
@@diegoramirez8674 what
Yep should’ve used rudder to decrab
