Just wondering were the landings made with Full Flaps or with Flaps 3?

The Airbus FCOM makes recomendations with respect to using Config (Flap 3) in gusty conditions.

I have operated the aircraft in all kinds of wind conditions and can attest to the fact that Config 3 offers far more responsive roll control. Howver, it also is more sensitive to sidestick movement and requires some practice to reduce overcontrolling.

I also agree with the concept of using small amounts of rudder to assist with roll control in the flare.

And I fully support the concspt of a go around if t all gets messed up.
