Wow! Sucker is basically in "direct" mode with some rate and gee dampening, then requires increasing back stick below 50 feet to maintain or increase pitch. Gotta admit that the mode should make the jet feel just like those of yore.
Hey gums - to be fair, the discussions we were having before wouldn't have touched on flare mode because we were talking about a cruise scenario - even a non-pilot like myself knows what it is and would have been happy to tell you. The systems were checked out by nuts-and-bolts engineering pilots from the get-go - the best that could be hired, and the truth is that every single mode was designed to be as transparent to the pilot as possible.
Very glad it's clicked for you though!
