I don't think those landings are representative of how you are *supposed* to
do it. They should be coming in straight, and aligned with the runway, but
the airplane should be banked over as if in a turn. The ailerons, combined
with rudder are used to offset the force of the crosswind. That's the plan,
at least.


That sounds about right for smaller planes but I am no expert. I'm
wondering if the technique for larger planes is somewhat different?
