CONF
25 seconds before the end, the pitch was back in alternate law, but the stabilizer position did not move (?)
Most of that 25 seconds were spent in Abnormal Attitude law, with no Autotrim.

But the trim wheel should still work,so here's some THS questions for engineers/designers with specific knowledge of A320.
1. How often is the full range of movement checked? (Not required to be done by line crew).
2. What checks are done on the THS in a C check?

Incidentally my FCOM 1 says the nose-up limit of the THS is 13.5° whereas the report says it remained at 11.2° - we (or at least I) have all been banging on about full nose-up trim when it wasn't - quite.
