@gary747pilot Engine Flameout?

I NO THE PILOT HE WAS AT MY SCHOOL

@ut561129 In larger complex aircraft, the landing gear is designed to take the side load and stress. If they landed cross controlled, they'd leave the engine behind on the runway, wing strike! The wings are quite long. I fly light aerplanes and in those you can slideslip all the way down into the flare and touch down.

There's no such thing as an "American made" plane. There are many countries that come into play to construct all the parts, it's just assembles in one place...doesn't make it American made.

@ut561129 This is a recognised technique called side slipping and is used by pilots world wide, doing what you have suggested is not enough to compensate for the cross winds in all circumstances.

no doubt... AMERICAN made... built to last... designed to be profittable.

From what I have learned these guys are doing it wrong. They should be using cross-control technique. Aileron into the wind and opposite rudder to keep the airplane straight.
Touching down sideways puts a lot of stress on the gear and it is dangerous.

@ut561129 you are talking about a different scenario... what you learned it is OK... when you are at the flight school trying to get your license!!
-This videos show some procedures of an aircraft test flight.... pilots are doing RIGHT!! In an aircraft test flight you have to stress the aircraft in certain ways...
Do not get confused!!

It takes a special kind of breed to fly a plane. Not anybody can. I can't. :(
