Wiggy - the Airbus electrickery is there to make it fly like a conventional aircraft, which it does. Most pilots get the hang of the sidestick thingy in a minute or two. The pitchdown in landing law makes the pilot flare convetionally - most don't even realise it's happening. It's easy.

If you don't correct, it lands like an F4!
