Given that a single runway can only accommodate around 40 movements per hour, the designers knew they would have to build an airport with at least four runways for the anticipated growth in air traffic. The airport’s original plans called for five similar terminal buildings, all built in the central area between the runways.

A crabbed landing is performed during crosswind when an aircraft is landed by pointing the nose of the aircraft into the wind on landing. As the nose of the aircraft points into the wind, the aircraft moves towards the runway. B-52 Stratrofortresses can't perform crabbed landing like normal aircraft.

On the downwind to the westerly runway at LOWI, I experienced a lot of up and down drafts, shear, varying winds, and sloppy controls.

You can only begin improving the touchdown if you’ve mastered positioning your aircraft above the runway threshold correctly. For example, if you fly a high-wing aircraft such as a Cessna 172, you can use the point where the runway cuts the wing strut as a reference. See if the runway appears to move relative to the windshield.

Crosswind Landings : Learning no-flap crosswind landings can help improve aircraft control in high-wind conditions. This is important because crosswinds can make it difficult to control the aircraft at low speeds, so a no-flaps landing can teach you how to land with a higher approach speed. Higher kinetic energy upon landing.
