Sorry Dan but that Airbus Briefing Note on X-W LDG's is official Airbus literature in your company and is used as a TRG reference. It may even be ( should be ) on the intranet for rank and file.
FCOM's are taken too literally and are vague due Franglais. I feel a number of serious incidents have been as a result.
Applying that vague FCOM X-W LDG technique in the very occasional, high X-W conditions of your region, is a trap.
As I've said. I believe folks decrab and slip in the flare, in very high X-W's, to maintain directional control,without realising it.
