I am not a pilot, but is the final technique a recognised procedure? It appears to touch down with a lateral velocity component, which must stress the undercarriage, except in fairly light cross winds. If it isn't a standard technique for which a reference can be given, it should not be included.

Also, could I ask any US English speakers out there to convert my UK English spellings back to the US English in which the article was originally written. Gordon Vigurs 08:32, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

The alternative technique is not a recognised procedure. But i have seen some captains attempt it. Its very dangerous because if the wind stop blowing he would never recover. I’m sorry but there is no reference for that technique. I guess you are right, ill bring the fourth article down. Owh, thanks for correcting a lot of my sentence. This is my first article in wikipedia --Fydamnit 16:32, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Remove box that says not enough articles link here

There are some articles linking here now. Think it's okay to remove this notice, so I will. Dw290 12:11, 22 October 2006 (UTC) Actually, I think the tone of the article seems fine too. If there is agreement, perhaps the warning about that can be moved too? Dw290 12:15, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed mergers from Crab landing and Slip landing

Support: These are closely related techniques, and should be covered in a single article. Dhaluza 13:39, 21 January 2007 (UTC) Support: Same reason as above --Natrajdr 19:48, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
