Narrative:
Jfk runway 22L B767-200 sequenced 7nm in trail of an A380 landing runway 22R. Center field wind approx 260 degrees at less than 10kts. Landing gross weight approximately 250;000 pounds; landing flaps 30; auto-spoilers deployed; auto-brakes off. Decelerating through 100 knots aircraft experienced aggravated yaw and IAS increase of twenty knots for approx one second. The PF (first officer) corrected for yaw with rudder; airspeed returned to normal deceleration values. I suspect yaw and airspeed increase attributed to impact with A380 vortex traveling across the ground. A lighter aircraft may have had a more dramatic encounter.
