Did you ever intentionally land with the crab angle intact?


YES

This is what is advocated by a gentleman on the MSFS group
who says he is a retired "heavy" captain.


Quoting from my PanAm B-707 Flight Manual

" CROSSWIND LANDINGS

Make a normal approach. Maintain runway alignment by
crabbing. Before touchdown, gradually remove as much
of the crab as possible with rudder. It may be necessary
to land with some crab angle if the crosswind is high.
This presents no problem if the angle is not excessive
and the flightpath is aligned with the runway.

CAUTION

Touchdown with a large crab angle and the wings level
may result in a rapid rising of the upwind wing and may
cause an engine nacelle to drag on the runway.
