Some landing advice please. A320

[BARKINGMAD]

Crabby Old Boeing.

Mr Boeing has cleverly and simply assisted the X-wind impact problem by fitting damped castoring main gear to the 737 variants, presumably by employing the K I S S principle when it comes to design?! Hence the impression of taxying with drift observed by following craft!

Therefore the 'frame "owns" the first 15 knots of X-wind, as in the autoland case, and the bonobo chimp at the controls only has to hack the remaining 18-20 knots, depending on the variant. This news seems to reassure the "newbies" who understandably get twitched when they work out the X-wind component about to be faced.

I dread to think what Toulouse would have cobbled up by way of a solution, involving wiggly amps and actuators and various "laws" which engage when least expected!

But we appear to have drifted off (pun intended) from the O Ps request for advice, and I'm longing to be educated as to why Toulouse decided to design the 'bus to behave so in the last 50' just before impact, as per my previous posting?
