I have used asymmetric reverse thrust in jet aircraft in strong
cross winds on contaminated runways and had zero problems
Yeh but are you talking Deisel-8s or 707s Con? And 727s
and DC9s have thrust vectors close together, so the assy
effect would be diddlys.

A slight assymetric reverse on the 737 helped a bit in the
rare contaminated landings I've done (snowy ice slop) but
I'd never try it in a Scarebus - too many things could go
wrong on the bloody thing.
