To the original poster, just land the B737 in a crosswind the same way you landed your previous type. There is ZERO voodoo to B737 crosswind landings....
You do not say. Was thinking it is all the same ^^.
Hell. You DO NOT know some (irish
) operators back here in Europe. They make Voodoo out of their entire 737 OPS(by issuing a ton of FCI's and lot of other crab). All magic(for them)
. But I agree - from a (experienced, need to add that nowadays)pilots point of view is is a rather common airliner. Dated(even the NG and MAX), but an rather easy rig. No big deal to handle it during X-winds.
