I too say NO to the inquisition! Especially based on a few pictures... and by people who have never experienced any type of gust, apart from a virtual gust. That's just crazy!!

FBW Airbus are not the most comfortable aircraft to fly in gusty conditions. The A321 is probably the most "honest" aircraft to land in the family when the wind is calm... And a bit of a "troublemaker in gusty conditions".

I was watching a few videos from Madiera the other day and how beautifully the pilots get the "birds" down under gusty and variable winds. Enjoy and stop the inquisition!
