Does the A380 have (more than your average heavy) problems landing in windy conditions?
Example! The touch & go around at egcc sunday?

Dunno, but I watched an interesting EK go-around at LHR last spring. The 380 was on approach to 27R, flared and stayed at about 5 feet above the runway until abeam T1 when a go-around was initiated. There was absolutely no change in attitude, it just "floated" just above the runway until the g/a.

This will be management pilots doing their line training. If all you ever do is fly once every three months or so you find a type conversion hard work and everyone gets to see your abilities.
