It is a well-known fact that airbuses are designed to handle crosswinds quite well and pilots don’t have to deal with strong winds on rare occasions. However, they are not abandoned without training as they practice maneuvers called crabbing and slipping. Crabbing is about preserving a dominant heading while intentionally turning the airplane’s nose into the prevailing wind. When the aircraft is within a few feet of the ground, there is a tendency for the sitting pilot to automatically switch to a different maneuver called slipping statement the aircraft parallel to the runway while positioning the wings into the prevailing winds. However, in most outlandish of the crosswinds, even reasonably trained aircrew can be forced to go back up for a second approach, or quite possibly the flight may be disrupted for safety data.
