RE: Horizontel stab dihedral
Seems there are as many ways to land xwind as pilots...I had a look around the hangar and all our a/c have dihedral tailplanes, 767, 777, A320, 747, 737, only changes a bit with the feeder (prop) types, 'T' tails don't, but being high out of the propwash probably doesn't need it. I'll ask one of the rocket scientists if he knows why. Might see if I can find one of our sim instructors and see what the airline policy is on the xwind stuff, you often find that different operators have different ways.
