Achieving a wings level touchdown (i.e., with no decrab [point B]) only requires a 4-degree to 5-degree crab angle at touchdown.
A steady-sideslip landing can be performed safely (i.e., while retaining significant margins relative to geometry or roll / rudder limits).

Figure 3 shows that with a 30 kt steady crosswind component:
.
Achieving a steady-sideslip landing (i.e., with zero crab angle [point A]) requires
nearly a 9-degree into-wind bank angle, placing the aircraft closer to its geometry
and roll /rudder limits.
.
Achieving a wings-level touchdown (i.e., with no decrab [point B]) would result in
a 13-degree crab angle at touchdown, potentially resulting in landing gear damage.
With 30 kt crosswind, adopting a combination of sideslip and crab angle (i.e., moving
from point A to point C) restores significant margins relative to geometry and
roll/rudder limits while eliminating the risk of landing gear damage. This requires,
