airforcenone, are you sure about what you wrote?
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">this is done by the use of a 'soft' elevator which operates far more slowly than it should. (Notice next time you do your flight control checks how slowly the elevator moves relative to the stick movement).</font>
I understood that on the ground the a/c is in 'Ground Mode' and the stick to flight control relationship is a direct one (like in direct law in flight). Since the a/c normally operates in 'Normal Law' when airborne the 'G' demand is metered not by a 'slow elevator' but rather by the 1G computed by the ELAC?
