Pitch goes gradually to direct, roll not. And that makes it tricky...
Rudder is always direct.
Pitch direct is blended in gradually and reached around 50ft and even a light nose down momentum is induced to you make you pull the stick. Stabilizer position is also a key factor for pitch control (if it's bad you can hit the mechanical stop of the stick).
CM - I disagree As has been stated numerous times here, Pitch and Roll remain Normal Law until 5s after touchdown...

All that happens @ 50' on Approach is that the "datum" attitude tries to reduce to require a "flare input". Law remains Normal... AFAIK

"Ground Mode" i.e. Direct Law is 5s after landing
