Like it or not, this argument applies to any object where a force is applied off centerline. This topic is not indicative solely to jet aircraft, claiming it is only further shows your lack of understanding of asymmetrical thrust.



For those of you that haven't fallen into this, "I can't learn anything from people who don't fly jets," I thank you, you are better people and pilots for it. That said, when new information is presented, view it with an open mind, with the goal being to learn something. If the information seems questionable than go test it out, in cases where you feel it may be dangerous try it in a sim.

Whatever you do, don't for a second believe that just because it is not a procedure in your book it cannot work. Driving an aircraft in at stall speed is not in any aircrafts procedure book for short field landing that I have read, however it will give one unquestionably the shortest landing distance. Procedures are nothing more than recommendations that work for the majority of situations, they are by no means limitations or a "be all end all" source of information for aircraft operation.
You should consider a new career as a test pilot. Based upon previous posts many schools would waive the credit hour/course requirement and just confer you a degree in aerospace engineering. Also any company will waive all experience requirements for a test pilot position for you if you list your posts as a portion of your resume.

With your new job as a test pilot you will be re-writing procedures for various aircraft - this will be a good chance to share knowledge with those other experienced test pilots about what works safely and what does not - I'm sure they will be receptive to new information.
