DozyWannabe I'm not in a position to do the maths right now, Lyman - but what I can tell you is that we got the same "G"-induced STALLSTALL in the sim at the moment I commanded pitch to 15 degrees - it was not caused by the updraft (the effects of which were simulated by the TRE using asymmetric thrust).

Yes, but in Which LAW was the SIM when you got STALLWARN...... And had you programmed "UAS" prior to unlatch?

In NORMAL LAW, the a/c will respond to a/p within certain limits of rate and deflection. It will also respond to rate ONLY..... So if G loaded beyond the limit of a/p, it will unlatch the a/p, by definition. So how are we to know what caused the a/p to unlatch? Speeds, or G, or "Rate". Or TREND? Inability to arrest TREND inside limits? This is an old question, but I thought I'd bring it up now that we're there, again.
