"Turboprops with high wings and high mounted engines can use the crossed-controls wing down method …"

and
the jet 146/RJ, where the combination of a large fin / rudder with the high wing provided excellent wing down control.

Unfortunately most pilots were unfamiliar or uncomfortable with the technique, which was judged as an unnecessary burden on training - not prepared to demonstrate the technique, and that the simulator did not accurately represent the side forces and roll yaw interaction.

Few opportunities to gain experience in the conditions; which appears to be a similar problem with other aircraft. If inexperienced pilots have to use lower minima, how then are they to gain experience sufficient to qualify them - many simulators are deficient in the required fidelity.
