But that's not a myth....

And "they" at Aiirbus didn't tell the flight crews (or anyone else as far as I can find out, because it would appear not to be in the Flight Manual) that the control response is halved when one wheel of their airliners touches the ground - that was a major factor if you watch the video of the Airbus flying sideways into Hamburg (aside form not trying to land there in the first place). I forget the link, but it's on Youtube.
