Aren't the 777 parts of this vid from the Boeing 777 cross-wind testing? Well them and one lone 747 (0.27) prior to the Korean Air's alarming approach to Kai Tak?

Sideslipping! Isn't this were you cross the controls? Right rudder/Left aileron etc. I thought that was a technique for losing height quickly if you're too high on approach. Or do you have to use large deflections to do that, lose height that is?

Its not a C172, Boeing says that you do not have to land this aircraft with a sideslip in a crosswind.

The B777 has a max demonstrated crosswind component of 38kts, and the bank angle that would produce from doing a pure sideslip would scrap an engine nacelle. The tyres, trucks and landing gear are designed to be used like this.

Doesnt matter the technique used to accomplish it.

Boeing says you dont have to do a sideslip to land this aircraft, the trucks, landing gear, and tyres are designed to be used like this. And it has a max demonstrated crosswind component of 38kts. If you do a sideslip in that wind, you will scrap an engine nacelle.

Its not a C172!

Not really. I do it in the 767/757 all the time. It can take the landing, and is certified for it.
