A320 Autopilot Pitch Envelope
G'day All,
Just a couple of A320 questions for the Technically savy A320 dirver among us.
1. When the AP is engaged it is allowed a 1.3g limit (and from what i understand) this is 1.4g in expedite mode.
Approaching high speed protection @ VMax the high speed protection pitches up and reduces side stick authority to maintain Vmax, with O/SPEED triggering at VMax + 4. Does the AP have a authority of 1.3g + 0.75g or 1.4 + 0.75g or 2/2.5g prior to being disconnected with the highspeed protection at > VMax
2. In expedite climb with during light windshear the airspeed begins reducing towards Vls.
At what point does the Autopilot increase its authority to ensure a pitch down to maintain speed if the trend continues to reduce. The FCOM from what I can see makes no specific reference to the specific G authority of the Autopilot. Does anyone have a reference?
