Thank you very much, gentlemen (Checkboard, Garage Years, Lonewolf 50).
From your replys and the BEA release, I gather that the THS was within 1 deg. (+13) of its maximum nose up position - and approximately 5 deg. beyond the point at which it could be overcome by full nose down elevator (without changing THS angle). [Please correct me if this is wrong.]
One final question: Is the thrust line of the AB330 such that the application of TOGA thrust will induce a significant nose up (pitch up)moment?
