SUPERSTAB
To hopefully further clarify, this was controlled from the SFC computer and was a two part mix:
1) With Vc < 270 KTS the AUTOSTAB pitch damping was increased as a function of pitch rate and pitch rate DOT, Vc DOT and corrected (wing) incidence. Maximum possible demand limited to 8° nose down.

2) With Vc < 140 KTS and alpha/alpha rate greater than 19.5° (this itself would generate the 'wobbler' or 'unmistakable warning') a 4° nose down signal is generated over a 1 second time constant.

I hope the enclosed diagram helps to put it all in place.

Best Regards
Dude
