Landing Rudder Problem

[gronji2004]

Hey Guys!

Just had a strange landing on RWY 28 at Dublin INTL in a Boeing 737-800. There were slight crosswinds and I did the normal procedure for landing. Upon
touchdown, I landed as usual. However, the aircraft started to turn to the left. I immiediately pushed the Left Toe Brake and pushed the rudder
forwards to the left, as well as the ailerons, and still the aircraft would not get back to the centre of the runway. I had to increase the power of
the left engine to avoid the aircraft going off the runway. Obviosuly something is not wright here as the rudder itself being pushed the left should
have made the aircraft get back to the centre of the runway. Any ideas on why I had to go to these measures to keep the 738 going off the runway?

Regards,
Alex

Ehmm... if you push the rudder to the left... you will go left...

You have to use right rudder and you can use right differential brake to return to the centre.

Sorry I meant Right! I used the right rudder and toe brake!

You have hardware pedals??

Maybe you should configure them again. I have that problem sometimes.

I have CH Products Pedals. However, the aircraft operates fine when taxing (at low speeds), it just at high landing speeds that this problem occurs?

Alex, maybe the Fred Flinstone method of stopping wouldn't have hurt any Seriously, how strong was the crosswind? Since I don't own
the CH product, I can't comment. But, the Saitek rudder pedals work flawlessly. I'm wondering though...did you still have the yaw damper
on?

actully Fs9? You might have run into the problem where Fs9 forgets to register ground, and your left wheel sunk in just enough to render
trying to turn right usless, becuase the left wheel is recieveing a great deal of drag, like your trying to drag it through the ground.

I have had that happen before, but if this is happening a lot then I am not sure

[gronji2004]

Hmm not sure about Yaw Damper? Was it suppoused to be on? Also, crowebird, the touchdown effect came out of the left wheel indicating that the wheel
had actually touched down!

yea I know, the plane will still register its on the ground, but it will register like a second late...

so instead of getting
___O_____ (where wheel is ontop of pavement)
you get ----O------ (where wheel kinda gets loged in pavement, so touchdown is registered and all that, but the wheel creates a drag)
and everything might still look normal, its like registration points get thrown off a little...
