Your claim is not supported by the actual text of the original post, but keep trying to pound that square peg into the round hole. What exactly does "etc." mean to you?

Odd. Here's a video of pilots doing exactly that. In a 4 engine jet, no less.

I get the impression he is a new pilot. If he were to wind up flying a Navajo (just for example) in the North, He'll find some of the techniques useful. If you re-read the tread, I'm not the only one here who has made use of asymmetrical thrust on occasion, nor am I the only one who read the OP as general question vs specifically jets. And I'm not the only thread participant who has operated on ice. There's at least one other, and I believe I see aircraft he flew in the video I posted.

The bottom line is that asymmetric thrust can be a very useful tool, and to make blanket statement that it's just not done is inaccurate.
