Fine rudder work...zero deflection. Nice.

At least they passed all of those written tests.

I don't see anything wrong.

I didn't think the airbus actually needed pilots, but just systems monitors/button pushers. But I hear they fly OK with a pilot when it gets one.

He was only pulling a "dukes of hazzard" to get to the gate faster. He had to drop a "douce".

From the board at airliners

[FONT=ARIAL, Helvetica, Geneva]At that time, there were gusts up to 44 knots of crosswind, and heavy turbulence was reported! I'm glad that everything ended up well.[/FONT]

You know, I'm trying to remember, but I think 44Kts of crosswind exceeds the max demonstrated x-wind component by about 10kts. Full flaps too! These guys are good!

Don't see a problem--appears to be right in the touchdown zone. Nice work!

I believe the phrase rhymes with "Klucking Bell"...Nice photo work...shame about the landing.
