C.S: Ah, at last an old schooler. I used to do that on B757/767. Nice long undercarriage; it stopped the a/c shaking itself like a wet dog on roll out. Worked like a treat. No dramas. Nowadays, B738, not taught, even though FCTM has it as a valid technique, with limitations. Indeed there are 3 x-wind techniques, but often airlines choose to have an SOP for only one technique. How daft is that? Let's limit our crews to only one of the available techniques to handle a problem. When mother nature puts you up against it I would like to have confidence in my ability to choose & use all the options.
