Dear Fredrick
You have confused two things in your post on the further developed 330 and 340 Normal law blends into direct law at 100 feet for the flare. In the 320 at 50 RA feet flare law becomes active wichis normal law with the adition of memorising the current pitch attitude and starting at 30 feet begining to reduce pitch attitude to reach 2 degrees nose down in a period of 8 seconds if there would be no pilot action. This is the very thing that would limit your pitch up authority in the flare. Unless like was mentioned in the post that started this thread you would hit A protection because of windshear above 100 feet RA. This system will be with us as long as there are 320 around even though an improved system is available on the 330/340 alas.
The point I was making that if there was an override available that would alow a larger input than full stick by pressure sensors al benefits of FBW could be combined with final authority were it belongs with the pilot.
The Concord was equiped with FBW and could even react to pressure on the yoke should it become yammed.
