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.
