"How is it done in the Airbus with the FBW logic?"
Blended flight control mode.. As you approach the ground the controls blend to a direct input mode. Within by the time you are slipping for landing the controls are in direct input mode.
Well almost.
The aircraft will maintain a known track at a certain radar altimeter and all you have to do is put in rudder the nose comes around and the wing dips itself on a cross wind. A gusty crosswind is whole a other program. The A-320 can be a ***** in a strong gusty crosswind because the ailerons are to small and to sluggish to be effective at slow speed in a really gusty crosswind. You just kind of have to average things out.
The A-320 is the first and only airplane I've ever flown where I've hit the control stops with the stick in all four directions on one landing within 50 feet of the ground. Not the norm mind you but until you get accustomed to it the 320 can be a bit disconcerting in a strong gusty crosswind.
