Dear FMGC:

you said: Do you need it placarded to say "Pull stick back to raise the nose"?


if you believe this, you are a mediocre pilot...pulling back on the stick doesn't raise the nose, it increases angle of attack, and when you go past the critical angle of attack the NOSE COMES DOWN and all the pulling you do won't bring it up (for conventional aircraft)

why not read Wofgang's book again. or read it for the first time...it might help!
