Gotta tellya, Confit, that until I see the actual FCS charts/functions for modes and such, I'll stay with Doze and others that the plane gave everything it was "programmed " do.
My problem is with the "flare mode", which requires increasing back stick once the jet is "x" feet above the ground. Could it be that the "flare mode" prevents the jet from reaching the advertised max AoA?
I swear, the 'bus has more "laws" and functions and everything else that the space shuttle, the Viper or the F-22 do not have. For a pilot, I want to know exactly what to expect without having to go thru modes, sub-modes and then sub-sub-modes. Sheesh.
I am not an advocate of "direct" laws, as some have mentioned on our discussion. But you can only do so much to prevent/help some hamfist to fly the jet.
