Great tips, but surely this information should be in the respective FCTM and is largely type specific? It's been a while since I last changed type, but take-off and landing geometry are published in the Boeing FCTM, for tail and pod strikes.
Also as previously mentioned, for the 777:
The airplane can land using crab only (zero sideslip) up to the landing crosswind guideline speeds.
The maximum
demonstrated crosswind is 38 knots (we have a dry
limit of 45) along with the additional note:
Sideslip only (zero crab) landings are not recommended with crosswind components in excess of 28 knots.
Apart from the outboard pods, I imagine that the 747 is similar to the 777, in that inertia plays a significant part of the ‘self correction’. As long as you are on the centre-line, and travelling straight down the runway, that’s where you are going to go...
