Hi DW,

Quote:
he does not have the benefit Longitudinal speed stability in ALT2 Law
I'm still not sure about the argument there - the flipside is that in the case of a small-intermediate upset he has complete control of elevators and trim in one hand and can manage throttle in the other.
It depends what is understood by LLS, indeed you loose the protections but as long Nz and Nx are available there is speed stability due to thrust changes.

In fact you can see it in the 'simulated' graph in the 3rd report.

@ 00:09:14 THS 3.0° @02:10:09 THS 2.8°
@ 02:10:09 THS 2.8° thrust went down & THS moved to 3.1°
@ 02:10:30 Thrust is going up again and THS retrimmed to 2.9°
