Thrust asymmetry

Hi,

I read somewhere that using NW steering is not efficient in case of thrust asymmetry after engine failure especially after certain speed and below Vmcg.

a) Is the statement above true?

Other persons mentioned the use of differential braking in case of thrust asymmetry after engine failure.

b) What is the recommended procedure by aircraft manufacturers (Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier...etc.) and/ or airlines/aircraft operators in case of thrust asymmetry after engine failure?

c) Is it possible/not possible to use voluntary thrust asymmetry in flight? Why it is possible/not possible?

d) What are the cases where it is possible (assuming it is possible) to use voluntary thrust asymmetry in flight?

Please explain your answer (please don't answer by only yes or no).

Feedback appreciated.
