actual elevator position. We can see the average control inputs pretty easily on the DFDR readout, but the PF could not. The feedback channel he had used all his flying career was no longer available.
He was operating open loop.
I did pick up on..... At a quick reading, just didn't have time to confirm in a post. Am not sure how that counts in the flow of things, as those that need read them, and understand them are not those that are in agreement with you, like I learned unequivocally recently. Your contributions in the last several pages were masterful, but that bold last short sentence is a perfect engineering description, that I am most envy of.
Thank you.
