Default Ack!! video A320 xwind in Germany

The comments on Utube associated with this video talk about the pilot
skills! If I know that pilot was in the front of the airplane, I'd be
getting off, thank you very much. It looked like she tried to make a
coordinated turn toward the center of the runway during the flare but
whatever was going on, it took a few seconds too long to decide to get
out of there.


What hapened was she put a great big boot of udder in and no aileron to
counter it. it may be that the airplane didn't let her, but she was wel
within the direct law envelope and I've been assured by (most, well, two
out of three) A320 guys I know that the airplane will slip just like any
other.
