Maintain directional control and appropriate crosswind correction throughout the approach and landing.
Bottom line
As soon as the airplane rolls out onto final approach, the crab angle to track the extended runway centerline is established. Prior to touchdown, the transition to a sideslip is made with the upwind wing lowered and opposite rudder applied to prevent a turn. Follow-through with the flight controls involves an increasing application of aileron into the wind until full control deflection is reached.
