Side Slip (wing down/cross control) Landing Technique on Airbus (A330)

Dear Learned Ones,

I learned that Airbus recommends the crab/decrab at flare method while Boeing does the wing down/cross control side slip method at about 400'.

During conversion from Boeing to Airbus, I was told once by an instructor that the Airbus aircraft will crash if the cross control method of Boeing is used on the Airbus. However he did not explain or elaborate further.

Can someone please give me a technical explanation on this? Your help is very much appreciated.

Many thanks.


ps: someone also told me that the A380 may be able to do the side slip method.
