Salute!
Gee, PJ, I thought I was losing it....
the one-gee law would actually cause a slight increase in the rate of climb as the aircraft got further away from earth... ;-)
Unlike our little jet with different operational requirements, that's what we saw when we relaxed pressure on the stick in a slight climb. Hmmmmm......
So I was pleasantly surprised when I read the Airbus pitch correction for the "gee input" by the stick. Made sense to me for a heavy.
One of my dreams is to have all the heavy pilots fly a system that commands gee until the jet reaches a certain AoA, then follows the AoA limit ( I don't like the term "protection"). Upon releasing the stick the system tries to establish the last gee command, whether a trim gee by the confusers or a manually set gee. I know for a fact what my jet's laws did.
I have a bad feeling that the Bus may not re-trim the stab real quick after a prolonged maneuver at the AoA limit, then just relaxing on the stick.
respectfully,
