In all of my years of operating aircraft from DC-3's to the B-777, I've only used it once or twice in a DC-3. NEVER in a turbo-jet aircraft. In a B-727, with a very strong direct cross-wind (usually 15 knots or more) an accepted technique was to bring # 1 and 3 up and then slowly increase the thrust on #2 because of the "S-Duct" to prevent compressor stalls;however, all 3 had to have the take-off thrust set by 60 Knts.

On landing....NEVER !!

Directional control in a turbo-jet aircraft is maintaine with ailerons, rudder or a combination thereof.

Just my two cents Mates....G'Day
