In ALTLAW2, the THS is inhibited below 0.75, and above 1.25g. So it would not move in between these values? How does that affect the g demand input and availibility of the Tail Plane? If the a/c was in between these g values the whole while, wouldn't that mean that the THS is functionally unavailable for ND? Because it sure did not move, and the elevators did.

Now I know the argument is the elevators were not 1) sustained and/or, 2) not commanded beyond "Neutral", so was the THS available at all, in spite of, because of elevator deflection anyway?
