Did you ever intentionally land with the crab angle intact? This

is a retired "heavy" captain.


I saw it done once in a 707 and I thought the landing gear was going
to collapse.


He posted a bunch of references daying that landing with crab was SOP
for airlines and the military. I find it hard to believe and it
contradicts most everything I've read on the subject, but I don't fly
heavies so all I know is what I read.

He sounds like a phony to me.


He's no phony. He's the founder of this organization:

I still disagree with him IN GENERAL (several exceptions have been
discussed) about landing airplanes, especially heavies, in a crab,
however he seems to have impressive credentials.

Just cause the guy signed his name Dudley Henriques doesn't mean he is
