Direct Lift Control

[Obi Offiah]

Ok, so moderate longitudinal control inputs with DLC active, would result in a constant pitch angle but a change in vertical velocity, as the spoilers control the velocity vector. Here the pilot has direct control of the spoilers, but the stabilators are positioned to maintain a constant pitch angle and their positioning is accomplish completely through FCS feedback logic.

As well as direct spoiler control, longitudinal control inputs with DLC active above an FCES defined threshold, would also add or subtract pilot commanded stabilator inputs to blend with the FCS commanded stabilator input.
Is this how the system works?.

Thanks
