Vilas---I think you just proved our points. The A330 autopilot can only handle 20 kts of crosswind, which is not a lot. Up to 20 kts the wings can be kept level in the de-crab during the Flare if it's done correctly and you won't need much if any Aileron input. Yes that is how the Autopilot does it in an ideal world.
( then again how do you really know how much Aileron input the A/P makes in the flare as the Sidestick doesn't move and you can't watch the F/CTL page!! )
But at the end of the day in the real world ( not a sim ) you
may need to land one wing down in a decent crosswind whilst hand flying.
AS PER THE AIRBUS PUBLISHED FCTM I quoted way back.
Can we move on to something else now?
Close the thread it's running around in circles chasing it's tail.....
