OAP has got the wrong end of the stick, I was NOT slagging anyone off, just trying to have a reasonable discussion.
I related some of my experience to show I was not a 200 hr ppl and was trained by some of the very best quality organisations including the manufacturer of the aircraft I mentioned. ( although I have also operated the 767, quite a bit heavier than the 75). Decrab worked on that too!

I WAS however disagreeing with his statement, paricularly after discussing the issue with close relative, a former Airbus and now 787 training captain.

It it is interest that in “Handling the Big Jets” D P Davies describes removing the drift angle of a crabbed approach ( by pushing it off NOT “kicking “ his words) by co-ordinating the rudder input with aileron to keep the wings substantially level, particularly for podded engines.

Can we not not keep the discussion polite and objective?
