May 14, 200620 yr I think I read somewhere about using rudder trim to get set up on approach for a strong crosswind landing in the 744, but I cannot remember exactly. How do you use rudder trim for such a situation--if, indeed, you do!Thanks.Jonathan Sacks Jonathan Sacks Dell XPS Gen 4, Pentium IV Northwood extreme 3.8Ghz, 3Ghz RAM, eVGA 7900 GTO, 12 GoFlight modules plus MCP-PRO AP and EFIS, GF pedestal, CH rudder pedals, CH throttle quadrant, 42" LG LED, 24" DELL LCD, Windows XP, FS2004, FSUIPC 3.96 FS Autostart 1.1 (Build 11), FS Navigator 4.6, UT, FE, GE, REX, PMDG, Level-D, PSS, etc.
May 14, 200620 yr I would think that rudder trim would be far more important for any engine failure type of scenario when a steady rudder bias would be required. I imagine for crosswind landing you would rather depend solely on your feet as wind not only can change direction/intensity but fast leg work may be needed during the flare.

May 14, 200620 yr Commercial Member Jonathan-OOOOOHHHH.... Simple rule for using rudder trim:Don't Touch It Unless You Have An Engine INOP.When landing in a crosswind- you should still have the airplane in balanced trim.... but use rudder as needed to kick the nose stright on the runway was you touch down...
