Boiler, I usually find myself agreeing with you. But in these videos as well as our manuals it's only recommended on slick runways. It's pretty bare and dry in the video. I'm not critiquing the crew but I know I would have used top rudder in the flare and gone around if it wasn't enough for drift. We're restricted to 28 knots max crosswind on the Republic side and it's a good limitation. I've found the plane runs out of rudder quickly. Let's be safe out there everyone.
