    The Airbus 380 is known for his smooth ride (for over 500 passengers) but also for great unproblematic landings in gusts, as you can see with an obviously skilled pilot at the helm. Btw major sections are built in the UK: Engines Rolly Royce, wings in Broughton (UK) by Airbus UK, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Airbus SE, registered in the Netherlands, headquarter is located in Toulouse, France.

    People fail to realise, Its not the pilots landing it's the actual computers that are landing the aircraft so stop giving credit to the pilots.

      Nope. Manual landings are ALWAYS done in windy weather because the Autopilot cannot react as quickly as a human. Autopilot is used when VISBILITY is poor.

      Manual landings are ALWAYS done in strong winds. The autopilot cannot react as quickly as a human. Autoland is mainly used if visibilty is low (fog, heavy rain etc).
