So what do they teach? The "Crab and Kick" technique? And what about for those pilots that are flying taildraggers?
In most cases (ignoring very large aircraft with castering landing gear, or extremely robust gear) the ideal situation is one where there is no lateral drift, and the aircraft is aligned with the landing direction to prevent sideloads, this is particularly true in taildraggers/conventional gear airplanes to prevent ground loops. . . most feel that this is best accomplished with the wing low method / side slip.
