I flown thousands of hours on the 733 and 319 and must say the rudder pedal input/travel required when removing max crosswind drift on the 319 is far less than the Boeing. The Bus rudder is extremely powerful. Too much of a "bootful" will result in a roll in the applied rudder direction. Also, unlike the Boeing, the Bus requires little or no into wind aileron input...provided the rudder input wasn't excessive. Crosswind landings on both types are not a problem provided the wind is in limits and the appropriate technique is utilised ie flare, look down the runway, remove drift gently, touchdown, reverse to taste, go to the pub.
