The stick does provide feedback. There’s a speed cue on the IAS tape, which, in manual flight, is set by the trim button. Set the IAS, if you’re at a lower IAS the nose will drop or the AT will add thrust, if engaged. If on takeoff, at CLB thrust, you have to keep trimming down or the pitch keeps going up, up, up. One minor complaint, is the “trim” actually speed bug, button doesn’t move fast enough to keep it in trim, so you have to keep the pitch at the desired angle with forward side stick pressure or it’s increasing pitch. This from the 7500 which is pretty much identical flight controls.
