• If I were driving an A380 then I'm sure that the only landing that I could walk away from would be one I made would be in a simulator!

    A lot of Cargospotter's videos involve crosswinds. Watch the start of this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF9n7ShkOJ0
    and look at the rudder deflections immediately before and after touchdown.

    In the video posted by @fussballclub, there is what looks like full left rudder before touchdown, and then full right rudder afterwards, leading to the oscillations that passengers at the back of the aircraft must have found very uncomfortable.

    Not sure what the crosswind components were in the two videos, but the crab angles look similar
