jtr! I know, You were told already.... just to sum it up: When you land, the Bus goes into the flare mode. When you do an autoland, you will see it annunciated on the FMA on your PFD. Somewhere around 40' or 50' the autotrim stops and without going much into detail, it makes you feel like a conventional airplane in the pitch axis so you can grease it on and feel some pressure in the stick to have a feel for landing the plane. Only if you have a dual RA failure does the plane not know what to do when and guess what: Direct Law as soon as that gear comes down. If you gently add rudder during a crab, the plane does pretty well in keeping wings level, but that's in the perfect world. Reality is that you always have to work the ailerons too during x-wind landings, even though you still roll around in normal law.
And back to the first post , in reply to our aspiring airline pilot: Just learn and practice those x-wind landings, you will get the hang of it, because you will have to work those rudders and ailerons, no matter how large your plane. There is no day at O'Hare without a crosswind landing, trust me!
