If you land with full rudder deflection away from neutral (can I suggest you try this trick when I am not on-board
) then as soon as you have compression on the nosegear the nosewheels will position to 7 degrees off-centre. I would then assume that you would quickly centre the rudder pedals to keep the thing on the runway.
