Post A-320 Pitch up

If his previous Q. was too easy and you have already answered it feel free to continue..... Here's another one , Cheers !. .. .--------------. .. .START FORWARDING .... .. .There have been a number of threads regarding the pitch up characteristic of the Airbus 320 series during ground spoiler deployment when landing. Recently, I heard of an elevator precommand that occurs when the ground spoilers extend. For the 320 this happens during manual flight only. For the 319 and the 321, it happens during both autolands and hand flown landings. Could this feature of the flight control system explain some of the pitch ups during touchdowns that have been experienced by some of the pilots on this forum?. . . .Also it was explained that on the 320 there is a pitch precommand with speedbrake deployment to reduced the pitch effect when the speedbrake is deployed in flight. Does anyone know why this is not on the 319 or 321?. . . .Can anyone explain more about the nature of these pitch precommands?. .. .END
