Question: was this hand flown (as I suspect) or a/p ?
Much better to let the airbus fly in NAV around the sharp turns so you can watch your speed (avoiding the low speed hook) and engage the approach in stable flight after the rollout. Mexico City 05R is a good example.
The autopilot wants to fly at 30 degrees of bank.
With a good, smooth pilot you generally can't tell whether the pilot or autopilot is flying. If it's really, really smooth it's probably hand flown.
