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
Dudley Henriques...

True. The rest of that ng thinks he is and I have no significant reason
to think otherwise, but you are correct in that I don't know for certain
who is behind the keyboard.
