Hi HN39
In my search for a correlation between side stick angle, pitch rate and normal acceleration, based on the C* control law, I started comparing the elevator positions to the side stick commands, and am surprised to find that the elevator seems to be leading the side stick:
I think TurbineD has it right. Surely the whole point of the C* law is that there is no direct relationship between sidestick and elevator deflections? (and therefore no correlation of their integrals either).
A sidestick movement commands a 'g' level and the control system moves the elevators as much as it thinks is needed to fulfill that command. If the stick is held at a constant position the elevators will still move until that 'g' level is acheived - i.e. they will 'lead' the sidestick. If the 'g' is not what the pilot wanted then he would add more stick and the process would continue. Seems to me that is what was happening here.
