Folks,
What are the autoland limits x-wind for the T7, and how does that do it?
For what it is worth, I always preferred slipping across the wind ( aka "wing down") on the 767, which is what the AP did below 500'.
With the B747/2/3/4 on a wet runway I preferred landing with the drift on, particularly in lousy viz, but would kick the drift off on a dry runway.
Whatever, in all cases you MUST maintain the attitude, let the nose drop as you kick the drift off and guess what --- big crunch ---- just like with no drift, and not controlling the pitch on any landing.
Tootle pip!!
PS: Would love to have flown the T7, if the sim. is anything to go by.
