New to the Airbus A320 having been on Boeing Jets for years to date! The 'bus' seems like a great a/c in many ways but I am 'interested' in how the experienced A320 drivers out there handle succesfully gusty and strong cross wind approaches and landings!

So far, I have noted that it actually runs out of roll control at times!... ie: even having given the FBW 'zero roll rate' a chance to sort things out and then applying side-stick up to 'full', it still on occasion keeps rolling against these inputs the wrong way!

Not very confidence inspiring near the ground when one is trying to land the beast (scarebus!!??)...

Comments and suggestions please

Thanks muchly!
