Wink jammedstab steering issue at touchdown

On the steering issue there are sops that suggest fornarrow runways go straight for the nosewheel steering after nosewheel touchdown.perhaps such technique might be helpful to practice on a severe gusting crosswind in a sim.haven't flown ATR a number of years now.the atr nise wheel has a tendency to straighten fairly easily provided not excessive rudder cycling that would induce uncomfortable oscilations below 70kts.Aileron input to counter upwind lifting on touchdown is liable to raise spoiler and the differential drag added o the wether cocking effect could lead to a nice tango in the cockpit!
