?? Maybe I'm misreading your response, but I wasnt responding to you or anyone in particular, just making a comparison that the 737 family, which is of similar size/weight to the A320 family, have castoring main gear (right?), and, so far as I know, the A320 family (which started this thread) does not have such a function.
I guess I was going a roundabout way at asking the question of whether or not having castoring main gear would have made a difference in the LH A320 landing or not.
