a little bit more about x-wind techniques for A320's

Dear RWA,


An extract from the A320's FCTM, complementing your info from the FCOM:

FLARE
The objectives of the lateral and directional control of the aircraft during the flare
are:
-- To land on the centerline
-- And, to minimize the loads on the main landing gear.
During the flare, rudder should be applied as required to align the aircraft with
the runway heading. Any tendency to drift downwind should be counteracted by
an appropriate input on the sidestick.
In the case of a very strong cross wind, the aircraft may be landed with a
residual drift (maximum 5°) to prevent an excessive bank (maximum 5°).
Consequently, combination of the partial de-crab and wing down techniques may
be required.


Just like any other aircraft...

Greetings!
