Sorry, but I must be misunderstanding what you are saying here. The FPA is unrestricted and the graph is independent of configuration. The only 'aerodynamics' that goes into the calculation is the fact that at constant AoA lift is proportional to airspeed-squared. "gee" is not commanded but is proportional to airspeed-squared. AoA is 'commanded' to remain constant throughout.
Yeah, my understanding of the plots was an 8 degree FPA or so. No biggie. I fully understand the relationships between AoA and lift and velocity.

My concerns are that many folks don't understand the actual relationhips of the gee command versus the AoA once at the "limits". You can command all the gee you wish, but the jet will only give you so much due to the FBW control laws. Been there, done that.

Thanks for the civil discourse. And out.
