Calculate the crosswind using the wind component table or a flight computer, such as an E6-B. A sideslip approach creates excess drag and requires more control inputs. High-wing aircraft are particularly vulnerable due to their higher center of gravity. However, check NOTAMs for runway closures.

The problem is that the aileron can only be deflected to a point after which the drag becomes significant. This shifts the ailerons Center of Gravity (C.G.) All flight controls are actuated electronically, and theres no physical link between the control sidesticks in the cockpit and the flight surfaces.
