A-320 CEO.
Landed today after disengaging the AP at 600’. 8kt crosswind on a 1900m runway.
After touchdown, while keeping straight noticed the rudder peddles hard, looked over at the F/O’s feet to see if he was riding the rudder with me but he wasn’t. A/C tracked well and I noticed ‘Rollout’ engaged in green on FMA’s. Through 70, as I stowed reversers, Rollout disappeared and rudders became soft (normal).
It has me stumped!
how could this be possible?
To clarify, it felt as though the auto-pilot was doing the work maintaining the runway centreline. Rudder was hard. Even though the AP was disconnected, rollout mode was engaged and holding the centreline. I think there has been some sort of weird malfunction though no ECAM or failure maintenance message.
