[I][/single English word for us to use instead of derotationI]

Um, in this context how about "lower"

To paraphrase DH....... Please ignore Agaricus bisporus and the nonsense he speaks. In the A319 I would gently fly the nose wheel down as it wasn't at all an issue. You just don't want to lose elevator effectiveness and let the nose fall onto the ground. On the A346 you need to positively lowerthe nose. It's very possible to be left with the nose in the air and run out of elevator control in the A346. On the A342/A343 I aggressively lower the nose after the first of the rear wheels touch to try and avoid the second thump that seems to haunt me.

I'm a great believer in KISS
