Many thx guys for the links and info. Good reading.
Read all pages of the Hamburg incident... there seems to indeed be a degree of mis-understanding about how the Flight Control Logic works!
I have no probs with the 'nudging the stick' principle... It indeed works a treat. The question arose on a gusty cross wind day, but within a/c limits! after watching the a/c roll left and continue to do so with no apparant correction. So, give it a bit of a nudge, still rolls left, so a bit more and more smooth right sidestick, but STILL rolling left. Finally end up on the stop, with it still rolling left! Finally begins to roll right and then no probs!
I just never experienced this lack of roll control authority on the Boeing, even in much stronger cross winds! I dont think I ever got to full control column deflection... yet there it was on the A320!
So, it does seem that de-crab in the flare is the way to go, instead of at 100 ish feet then wing down. It is just what to do on the way down that has me writing this after the above experience... And again it was not THAT bad a day!!!
Looking fwd to more 'practice'!!!
