I *think* I get the difference between a crab landing and a slip landing. However, I've never taken a flying lesson, and my only time in a cockpit (well while flying) it was a clear day, no wind, so I didn't get to see the pilots do anything too crazy other than land the plane.

Since we have a couple pilots on here I figured I'd ask.

Also aside from crab & slip, what other landings are typically used?

Do you use different landing techniques for different airports? For example, is it easier to land at YYC with a crab landing, whereas YHZ tends to yield better results with a slip?
