Is it normal to land with just one body gear first?

noticed in some videos wide bodied aircraft handle crosswinds? they’d crap all the way to touch down but would land on one main gear first, rudder straight, then the other, and finally the nose gear comes down. is this intentional or what?

There are several different ways to land wide bodies. One is to remain crabbed all the way to touchdown and let the aircraft’s inertia straighten the plane out once you touch down.

The preferred way however is to decrab the aircraft just before touchdown by using rudder to align the aircraft with the runway centreline. Once that’s achieved, you will have to lower the upwind wing to avoid being blown downwind of the runway. This is why you’ll usually see the upwind main gear(s) touch down first.
