Why the gripe? Different OPS, different standard techniques... Carry one across to the other field, and you're set for trouble.

BTW it is not wheels at 50', but G/S antenna, the wheels are at 33 over the greens. LOT of difference. 33' wheel clearance also illustrates, why "going low" brings little benefit.

Airbus: pilot eye / antenna / gear
320: 56 / 50 / 34
330: 59 / 50 / 28
