I have over 5000 hours on the left and I never had to take control or gave a dual input. Dual input is a big no no by Airbus. Yes I had a few very positive landings but nothing even close to the limits. Max recorded VRTA was 1.78g and this is with barely no flare and hitting the ground with 500 feet/min on heavy A321. My outfit wants a written report if above 1.8G. A real hard landing by Airbus where maintenance action is due on A321 is over 2.6g. If you give a dual input at very low height like 15/10 feet or try to take over the landing at that stage cause you think there is not enough flare there is a chance you will make thing worsts by compressing the main gears especially on A321.

Ah! Good point. I only get trained about this when I became LTC. And it does not feel natural at all for me yet to have my finger on the red button. I need to work on that.
