Control law change

Chris ,

Not able to answer your flight control changover regarding WOW switches.

Have I missed something but does the FCOM not say half stick forward on take off to ease to zero at 100 kts except when xwind > 20 kts or any downwind then to use full forward stick ?

This is a 330 of course so could be diff on other types....

Hlaf stick is where the stick spring pressure increases or half a cross down by my reckoning. The same spring pressure increase in aft stick provides a good tactile input to correct rotation input to commence with from what I was told and do ... Before the cross disappears it will get to about 10degress NU before the jet starts to react and NW comes off... Assuming a 2.3-3 deg pitch rate or so...

Is that of any assistance ? Oh and the small left / right input should be eased out too and allow roll normal to control the drift effect as the rotate proceeds from what I was lead to believe.... Seems to work to me in 6000 hours in the LHS on it.
