Sweet I can address KC10 and you at the same time, love this. Of course you would because with an engine out as KC10 pointed out you are aiming for zero sideslip which means you will naturally lower the wing into the wind in this scenario. You likely wouldn't want to fly into a crosswind with the windward wing high. You wouldn't fly a sideslip OEI into landing either, or so I hope.

However, KC10, when you use asymmetrical thrust you are not giving it the same difference as is experienced in an OEI situation and you have control to change it at any moment. That is why I said you can use it to successfully eliminate approximately 10-15 knots of crosswind. If you have only a few percent difference in the engines, 5 maybe 10 percent, then the resultant sideslip using rudder is not appreciable but will allow you to use less crab without dropping a wing. There is nothing wrong, on the other hand, with flying in a sideslip during OEI, like you said though there are consequences but if you account for them it is still safe. Disclaimer: I am not saying to fly in a sideslip, only that even in OEI it is possible to do safely.



Jungle, it only annoys me because I already answered each question you asked not to mention the mockery. It was Seminole that I performed this in and I used a 200-300 RPM difference if I remember right (was 4 years ago). I also have not seen it in any manual, I was first told about it by a gentlemen who flew B-17 bombers in WWII at a local aviation show.



I am also not saying you should all go out and change your ways and use this every-time you land. However, to assume it is unsafe, especially when there are obvious conceptual errors, is a narrow minded approach to take to any situation. It does work, it has been used by other pilots as you have seen here, and it is not unsafe in anyway. With that I ask, why not have it in the toolbox as you all seem to like to say?
