Unsafe Condition

On post-mod 38310 A320 airplanes, in case of emergency electrical configuration combined with a Green and Yellow hydraulic system loss during landing phase (nose landing gear extended), roll control would only be provided by the left aileron, potentially leading to an asymmetrical landing configuration and reduced control of the airplane.
