The data used for the following chart are the traces of pitch attitude and normal acceleration from the Airbus simulation shown on page 42 of IR#3(EN), and the traces of longitudinal side stick angle on pages 29 -31.

While there is possibly a relation between side stick angle Ss, pitch rate q and incremental normal load factor nz of the form:

a*Ss = b*nz + q

it is not possible with the available data to establish the coëfficients a and b with any certainty. There is a wide range of a&b combinations that provide an acceptable match between the calculated and simulated pitch angles. The coefficients chosen for the following chart give the best 'fit', but should be regarded as an example only.
