Sideslip or De-crab in the flare

[BobDDuck]

It's a shame that you guys can't do autolands. The airplane does them almost flawlessly. Makes the 737 seem almost defective.

But parallel rudder is a bit different than what you're thinking about. You're thinking of the ALIGN Mode, which doesn't happen until about 100 feet. Parallel rudder engages at 1500 feet in case of a go-around so that it's there for a lost engine, but the airplane doesn't align with runway until almost in the flare. It keeps the crab in until then.

You're right. I forgot about align mode because we see it once in the sim during initial and then never again.

The other issue is that we have almost no straight ahead engine out departure procedures so we almost never get that benefit during a SE go around.
