The B777-300 in a strong crosswind, above 35kts component, when doing a decrab, the cockpit (pilot eye) lateral position relative to the runway does not move downwind, the gear position shifts upwind.
Having only flown the -200, I'll take your word for it but I'm interested in the physics of it... From the description, it sounds like the CG rotates around the nose of the 'plane rather than the other way round as per normal aircraft. Are Boeing using some sort of exotic matter to build the -300?
I'm approaching 5 digits of flying time on the 777 and, like
gleneagles, would say that aping what the autopilot does is not a bad place to start. I've witnessed many different approaches to the problem, some of which resulted in valid solutions!
As an aside, the proponents of decrab vs. wing down usually demonstrate what I call the "very late wing down" technique...
