I can see why the opinions vary so much on this poor (unfairly I think) maligned dude.
At LSZH for years the locals could ask for a “Swing over“ from 14 to 16 which cut taxy time considerably.
Due to the geometry of the thresholds, this manoeuvre would only start below 300ft. Only a small amount of bank was required but the glide path had also to be adjusted.
Occasionally one could be asked by ATC quite far out whether a Swing over to 14 from 16 could be made for traffic reasons. This was more demanding and needed more ROD. Needless to say only in VMC.
