ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

As necessary, correlate crosswind with direction of forward slip and transition to side slip before touchdown.

Bottom line

Prior to touchdown, the transition to a sideslip is made with the upwind wing lowered and opposite rudder applied to prevent a turn. The point at which the transition from the crab to the sideslip is made is dependent upon pilot familiarity with the airplane and experience.
