The following guidelines are advised by Boeing for a crosswind landing. These guidelines assume steady wind (no gusting). These winds are measured at 10 metres (33 ft) tower height for a runway 45 metres (148 ft) in width. Basically, there are three landing techniques which may be used to correct for cross winds: de-crab, crab, and sideslip.
An aircraft is streamlined from nose to tail to reduce drag making it advantageous to keep the sideslip angle near zero, though an aircraft may be deliberately "sideslipped" to increase drag and descent rate during landing, to keep aircraft heading same as runway heading during cross-wind landings and during flight with asymmetric power.

The landing flare, also referred to as the round out, [1] is a maneuver or stage during the landing of an aircraft. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The flare follows the final approach phase and precedes the touchdown and roll-out phases of landing.
By Gillian Pensavalle No, there's not a gigantic 50-foot crab hanging out in a small harbor town in the UK. Foiled again, Internet. Photoshop strikes again; the photo is fake. The photo made ...

Landing is the last part of a flight, where a flying animal, aircraft, or spacecraft returns to the ground. When the flying object returns to water, the process is ...
HMS Argus showing the full-length flight deck from bow to stern ROKS Dokdo's full length flight deck The first aircraft carrier that began to show the configuration of the modern vessel was the converted liner HMS Argus, which had a large flat wooden deck added over the entire length of the hull, giving a combined landing and take-off deck unobstructed by superstructure turbulence.
The mirror landing aid was invented by Nicholas Goodhart. [2] It was tested on the carriers HMS Illustrious and HMS Indomitable before being introduced on British carriers in 1954 and on US carriers in 1955. The mirror landing aid was a gyroscopically controlled concave mirror on the port side of the flight deck. On either side of the mirror ...
