OK465 Does the Nose Down command rely on Manual trim wheel ? I recall that to reject a/c command for nose up, the sidestick has to be pushed fully forward to trip it? Then manipulated in concert with a recovery ?
bearfoil:
Automatic pitch trim is available in alternate law.
Are there are exceptions to this in alternate law? Somewhat ambiguous in syntax as the word 'always' is not used. If there are times when it is available and times when it is not, you could use this phrase. If it is always available you could also use this phrase. (Could it be available and not active?)
Assuming it is always 'always available' you bring up a good question.
When the low speed stability function is progressively commanding nose-down elevator, what flight condition is the THS being automatically trimmed for?
I'm pretty sure in ALT 2 with dual ADR failure in a stall when the pilot manually rotates the pitch trim wheel it will remain where the pilot leaves it. (Would you get a USE MAN PITCH TRIM on the PFD like in Direct Law?)
But I'm willing to entertain the "you don't have a clue" inputs from more knowledgeable Airbus experts. I have a thick skin and learn from my mistakes.
