Re: F-GLZU

FWIW, the way I read he traces, and as I wrote earlier:

When airspeed is greater than Valpha-prot (*), lift at alpha-prot is greater than weight, Nz is greater than one, flight path gradient increases, pitch attitude increases for constant AoA,

The reverse applies when airspeed is less than Valpha-prot.

Agreed, there are minor pitch variations due to 'rough air' .However, I don't see that the trim speed matters. The elevator will accommodate any mistrim until it reaches its stop.

(*) Judging from the traces, Valpha-prot is around M.69 - M.70
