<< Thanks for the feedback, so let me get this straight, when you have let go of the stick after a bank to the left of 20 degrees and the aircraft is still banked at that bank angle and still turning how do you get the airplane to return back to normal, i.e straight and level flight, do you just apply right aileron?>>

Essentially yes. You are applying a rate of roll rather than controlling the ailerons directly when everything is working ok. You put the aircraft where you want it, and it will stay there (within sensible limits). Therefore if we are in a 20AOB turn to the left and you want to fly straight, move the sidestick to the right and hold a deflection on the stick until you are wings level. It is a beautiful aircraft to hand fly (well, the 320 at least). -/+ 10 feet doesn't seem difficult in good conditions.

To quote I believe a trainer from the USA " Welcome to the Airbus, prepare to be assimilated"
