Tamilvimani, I agree with you. I know this book and there is a lot of good and usable stuff there, but this particular example, i think is wrong.
From own experience, during take off with cross wind from the left the A/C tends to turn into the wind, due to large fin surface located at the most distance from the pivot point, which aggravates the yawing moment into wind side. Having under this conditions engine number one failed strengths the yawing to the left even more, so you need to add right rudder. I would say it’s wrong, but maybe I am wrong. That’s how I feel it and you usually get in the sim, if the instructor wants to have fun.
Cheers.
