Among other things, it'll teach you why dufault is wrong when he says ''In a crosswing you need to apply alot of rudder''. CAN you fly a crosswind approach in an uncoordinated slip? Sure. SHOULD you? Depends on a host of factors, not the least of which simply being personal preference.
I merely meant that you need to apply rudder in a crosswind if you want to come in strait and level with the runway. I never said you had to do it, it was only an example of rudder function. Im pretty sure Im not wrong about that.
