Characteristics in pitch

When acting on the stick the pilot commands a constant G load maneuver and the aircraft response is G load/pitch rate.The pilot order is consistent with the aircraft response expected by the pilot,pitch rate at law speed/flight path or G at high speed.
Stick free , the Aircraft maintains the flight path even in case of speed changes.Furthermore , stick free in case of configuration changes or thrust variations..the pitching moment is redused by the feedbacks in the control law and compensated for by precommands.For T/O and flarewhere stable flight path is not what the pilot expects , the computers adapt auto the ctrl laws to the flight phases,GRND LAW(DCT LAW) and FLARE LAW(Smoother DCT law).
