Can I ask again, a recent question of mine that wasn't answered at the time
In the cruise with relatively aft c.g. (due to trim drag tank being full/relatively full)
What is the effect on this aft c.g. posn. (33% MAC?) when the system reverts to Alt2 law or even Direct law?
Obviously the pitch stability (c.g. closer to Neutral Point) is less strong, wondering if anyone has even contemplated this, let alone flown this config in the simulator?

Good question, that some of us, moving from A310 to A330, ask. On the 310 the turbulence procedure includes forward fuel transfer, but not on 330.

I’ve only flown Alternate Law in the sim at low altitudes, so the CG is always ahead of about 28%. In cruise is about 36 to 38% most of the flight.
