Maybe on your fleet glo but I've not seen that bandied about on the 380 fleet!

As for the references to the YD? You're all having a laugh. Try reading up on the Big Buses and how the FBW system works, with what modes and how the control surfaces interact!

The 380, more so than the 340 models, is very easy to handle in a crosswind. The rudder is not needed until the flare starts and then only gently as it's an incredibly large control surface. Just point the nose down the runway, crack a little bit of aileron to keep the thing from drifting and you're down!
