Thanks PJ,
I'm still not sure of the answer though...are you saying that it can't be calculated from the info available?
My line of thinking is that the THS and the aft side-stick are combining to try and pitch the a/c nose up. The attitude is pitching up at a rate of about 6 degrees per second (in the last 6 secs) . Is the reason for the pitch rate being limited to six degrees/sec because of aerodynamic forces or does it relate to the onboard computers limiting the rate (through elevator) with max g loading in mind?
PS I am aware that I'm out of my depth here with respect to Airbus systems knowledge and accident investigation knowledge, I appreciate the answers supplied by those of you more kowledgable than I.
