Whats it like in direct law in such a situation? Aerodynamic air loads skip the Airbus do they?
I believe Airbus uses an electrohydraulic system to connect what look like fake trim wheels. I cannot tell if they are complete wheels or just an arc exposed above the console, but they provide no force feedback to the actual loads on the horizontal stabilizer and no way to put a full grip on them. It looked to me like their function could be handled with a paddle switch.
