Default Do you crab or forward slip in X wind landings

True, I've been taught slips and crabs, both have their uses depending on aircraft, surface and wind. Good to know both.

Here's one for all you.....

Whats the definition of "excessive cross wind?"




"When you run out of rudder"

LOL.....

In the Cessna I used to have, I suppose the time I almost touched the runway with the wingtip was a bit excessive.

OTOH in the HP-14 I used to have, I avoided days with any significant crosswind, due to the wings being long and low.
