After this apparently sincere post -

When you hand fly an approach in gusty crosswinds, you need to 'fight' a little more with the aircraft to keep it on the centerline. This is due to the added vertical surface area of the sharklets blowing the aircraft to one side.



I had to reply with the difficulties winglet equipped a/c have maintaining LNAV in crosswinds.
