i just did my Type rating few months back on A320.
According to my little experience i noticed that:-

When approaching the threshold with 2 whites and 2 reds(at say around 70-80 ft) i increase the V/S and when on the runway i start flaring
when the Auto-callout says RETARD RETARD RETARD i put the thrust levers to idle(making sure the pitch doesnt exceed 11 deg). This Has given me much smoother landing.
i just observed these while watching cockpit DVD's.

now my Question is :-
Can i come 3 red 1 white at say 100Ft RA so that i land on the 1000' TDZ?

I would appreciate if anyone please narrate their techniques to make a crosswind landings?

Thankyou
