Default A380 Landing in LAX

There was some speculation on pprune that they
may have applied reverse thrust before the nose
was firmly planted. If that was the case, a
little asymmetry with the reverse thrust coming
on could cause the yaw.


If that's the way landings take place with the best A380 pilots around in the
cockpit, what will happen when regular pilots start to fly it? That was an
amazingly clumsy and rough landing, especially given that there was no obvious
reason for it (heavy crosswinds or whatever).
