Hold the stick back till 10deg is reached; let go and it will hold it.
Bank at any angle (up to 67deg) and you will maintain altitude.
Hope that helps
I just wanted to revive this thread as it is very interesting.
Airbus apparently use C* control laws with g-load for pitch response correct?. If the aircraft is climbing (autopilot/climb schedule computers off) at a velocity vector angle of 15 degrees, in order to maintain 15 degrees of pitch, i.e zero pitch rate, the aircraft must fly with a g-load less than 1, (In theory if the plane was flying straight up at 90 degrees to hold this angle 0g is necessary).
So is Airbus using G-command or pitch rate command, where neutral stick equates to zero pitch rate.
Thanks
