4. Pointed at an angle to the runway during approach and landing to compensate for a crosswind.

   Unlike most aircraft, the B-52's fully-steerable landing gear allows it to land crabbed and stay crabbed throughout rollout without destroying its tires.

5. Performed with one's aircraft pointed at an angle to the runway to compensate for a crosswind; performed with nonzero crab.

   The Ercoupe can't be cross-controlled, so it has to make a crabbed approach in a crosswind rather than using the sideslip technique.
