thats called air drifting

amazing video , i have more respect for pilots now that i watched wat they have to deal with when landing

This techique is called crabbing, it is used typically by large aircraft to stop sideways drift in a landing configuration. Before the nosewheel is lowered the plane is turned to align with the runway. Smaller aircraft use a technique called known as a slip where the upwind wing is lowered inducing yaw and opposite rudder is used to keep the plane aligned with the runway. Both techniques are routinely used by all pilots and usually go unnoticed by passengers of airliners.

Whats the song?

[pilotboy281]

The real reason for these landings is to test the cross wind limits for all of Boeing's aircraft because each one has a different maximum cross wind component on landing. If they exceed this limit they cannot land.

[pilotboy281]

The real reason they are landing here is they are completing Cross Wind landing test for Boeing to see the max cross wind limit for these aircraft which is very high but is a max because they will abort if its too high.
