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.
This is the sideslip approach technique used by many pilots in crosswind conditions (sideslip without slipping). The other method of maintaining the desired track is the crab technique: the wings are kept level, but the nose is pointed (part way) into the crosswind, and resulting drift keeps the airplane on track.
For example, a 10 knot wind coming at 45 degrees from either side will have a crosswind component of 10 knots × sin(45°) and a head/tailwind component of 10 knots × cos(45°), both equals to 7.07 knots. Pilots can use a use a crosswind component chart to calculate the headwind component and the crosswind component.
Landing of Hawker Sea Fury FB 10. 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 called alighting, although it is commonly called "landing", "touchdown" a or "splashdown" as well.

Aircraft landing on a runway. A conventional take-off and landing (CTOL), [1] also known as horizontal take-off and landing (HTOL) is the process whereby conventional fixed-wing aircraft (such as passenger aircraft) take off and land, involving the use of runways.
