CONF iture;
I believe they are saying that, in normal law, the sidestick demands a load factor, and the commanded load factor did not require more than neutral elevator.
I agree that the presentation of the FDR data, and the explanations leave much to be desired. Which parameters go into the FAC's calculation of gross weight and CG, why are the calculated limit speeds a function of AoA? IMO the report ought to show at least the FDR data on which BEA's calculations are based. See the Australian report on QF72 for an excellent presentation of FDR data.
