Elsewhere on the forum there is a post implying (perhaps to this reader) that an engine out on a 737, 777 etc is flown with the ball centered. Fact, or do you still bank (how many degrees?) towards the live?
This may well be type specific, etc...I can't speak for the 737 but as far as the 777 goes the general principle is to ensure the aircraft is trimmed/flown in such a way as to keep the control wheel centred in straight flight.That's actually the general trimming technique for the aircraft, regardless of engine out or not, and there's a scale on the top of the control wheel hub to help do this. TBH the slip/skid indicator on the PFD (there's no old fashioned ball as in a turn and slip) is not much used. So in short, no you wouldn't be looking to fly with the ball centred and you wouldn't be looking to deliberately fly one wing down on a 777.
