A33Zab,

Yes, I agree with you, Thank you.

The curve of integrated elevator angle gives a misleading impression because:

(a) At 02:10:18 the elevator changes from nose-up to nose-down while the side stick is still nose-up,
(b) At 02:10:40 the elevator changes from nose-down to nose-up while the side stick is approximately neutral,
(c) The elevator is slightly nose-up between 02:10:00 and 02:10:06,5, i.e. prior to any side stick action, and
(d) The graphical scales presenting the two parameters.

I've accepted Owain Glyndwr's explanation for (a) and (b) and am hoping to get an explanation for (c). I've edited post #1439 to rectify (d).

Apologies for causing "a storm in a glass of water" (as we say in dutch).
