Thanks for your reply.
I wasn't referencing your reply to BOAC on the matter of filtering out the loads imposed on the airfoils by factors outside the flight control system (Turbulence, etectera).
I was more of less "thinking aloud" based on some of the block diagrams of the flight control system, and considering how the installed stability functions (In normal or alt laws) would first sense, and then account for inputs to the system from outside the aircraft, as opposed to adjusting for inputs from within the control system.
DJ77: thank you.
Re-reading that got the point across.
Caveat: the assumption that the air mass data (airspeed/Mach) were not already beginning to degrade by that point, but it seems a safe assumption based on when alerts and miscompares show up on the record.
