Ever seen a Boeing 747 land sideways on purpose? In heavy crosswinds, the Queen of
the Skies can’t point straight down the runway. Pilots angle the nose into the
wind to stay on course it’s called a crab landing. Just before touchdown,
the pilot kicks the rudder to straighten the jet… …while the upwind wing fights to
stay level. Get it wrong? Hard touchdown, runway overrun, or a scraped
wing. Get it right? 400 tons lands with the grace of a feather.
Next time you see a “ sideways landing,” that’s not a mistake that’s mastery.
