The ICAO also recommends that pilots append the term "Super" to the aircraft's callsign when initiating communication with air traffic control, in order to distinguish the A380 from "Heavy" aircraft.

This is copied from wikipedia for all you "pilots" out there that obviously do not keep current with FAA changes. (next post is also part of it, damn character limit)
In November 2006, the ICAO issued new interim recommendations. Replacing a blanket 10 nautical miles (19 km) separation for aircraft trailing an A380 during approach, the new distances were 6 nmi (11 km), 8 nmi (15 km) and 10 nmi (19 km) respectively for non-A380 "Heavy", "Medium", and "Light" ICAO aircraft categories.

WTF this could easily have become a crash, look how unstable and awry it lands.
-
how is this considered to be a smooth landing?
-
"You can bet it's going to be a smooth landing.."
Pilot slams into the ground and jams the rudder!
"..The pilot will make sure of it."
-
Smooth landing? Everything went just right? ....were we watching the same vid?
I thought he was gonna skid at 1:08, jesus. :s

@AdamJLemon Except the FAA but that will soon change!
-
@AdamJLemon Once again, there isn't a single aviation authority that has officially recognized A380 as a "super". There is no such thing! try filing a flight plan and put super in the wake turbulence category and the guy who has to process it will laugh in your face. There's light, medium and heavy and the minimum separation s still two minutes! Look it up on some official websites before making up crazy names!

Sure, sure, bounce is a smooth one and evrything goes right...

naah, that little drift at 1:10 was just for showing off... :P
