WTF? I can understand the corrections, etc. up until the main gear touches down but why on earth does he do that with the nose gear?

It has to have been video-shopped or whatever video manipulation software is out there.
I wouldn't have expected the nose gear to take that kind of pounding. Those spindly little wheels.

Either it's "video-shopped" or its one of those early issues with the A320 where the Flight Management Computers went nuts (happened 2-3 times in the early service life of the type)

Either one of those would explain things to me.

Let's see if any of our aviation "experts" here can shed some light -- Andy, what do you think?

I remember seeing this a few years ago on a forum, the consesus was that it was fake (couple of airline pilots and ATC controllers included). I think it may even have been from an advert or something but my memory isn't that good ...

I'm not an airline pilot, but I trained about 5 years to become one... This has to be fake.

Funny, though. Looks like something from the movie "Soul Plane".
