Hi Aikon,

It may be that the control laws have been modified since I last flew the A320 in 2001, but I never experienced the automatic sideslip that Cardinal describes above.

See if this − and posts from many contributors on the same thread − make any sense:

I’m referring particularly to the paragraph “Crosswind Landing”. Prolonged flight in sideslip may not be practicable or desirable on FBW Airbuses, probably because of the roll-yaw coupling feature.

Chris
