Please keep in mind that page 25 of the DVA Pilot's Manual prohibits slewing the aircraft during a flight. Slewing causes issues with ACARS and can result in skewed data errors or even multiple landing records. Pilots should not be slewing the aircraft at any time once "Start Flight" is pushed until "End Flight" is pushed in ACARS. Slewing an aircraft may cause your flight report to get held up and questioned. Refltying a bad approach or trying to slew to the last position because ACARS or FS had a CTD makes things worse, not better so to speak. We don't expect perfect landings or approaches or how many red bulbs you have.
If you do need to slew an aircraft to a gate, do it before you officially start a flight. In fact, if you even have acars running and connected and slew, you'll likely get some sort of error or warning. its best to not slew. Taxi to the runway, take off, fly, land, taxi to the gate. Set the parking brake.
Forget you have that "Y" key on your keyboard. 
Unless you already flew, don't slew. Sorry I couldn't think of a more corny rhyme. 
Thanks!
