What is the crab landing technique?
One way to correct for crosswind conditions during landing is by purposefully establishing a crab, using the rudder and ailerons to angle the aircraft's nose into the direction of the wind while keeping the wings level. This way, the airplane's ground track remains aligned with the centerline of the runway.
How do pilots land in windy conditions?
As the aircraft approaches the runway, the pilot uses the rudder to point the aircraft's nose into the wind, counteracting the crosswind and maintaining the desired flight path. This means the aircraft will be angled slightly sideways, or 'crabbing' as it comes in for landing.
What is too windy to land a plane?
With this in mind, horizontal winds (also known as “crosswinds”) in excess of 30-35 kts (about 34-40 mph) are generally prohibitive of take-off and landing. As far as how this happens, it depends on where you are in flight.
