(Or more to the point, how is it fair that you get to make unsubstantiated claims of a "restriction" in the EFCS (and insinuate that it may have been surreptitiously removed) unchallenged, whereas I must retract any statement with which you disagree out of hand?)
Knowing both are starting from identical parameters, why Asseline should be subject to it but Bechet not ... ?
They're not starting from identical parameters. As stated:
The difference is in pulling the sidestick back - Bechet at the same instant and Asseline 3 seconds later. So Bechet was still in pitch control law when he pulled the stick back while Asseline was in alpha-prot.
Check the graphs on Annexe X, page 9. Look at the bottom of the page (when rotated lengthwise), and you'll see a graph indicated "Manche Longitudinal". Asseline's inputs are the broken, dotted plot and Bechet's are the unbroken plot. Note that on this particular run, Bechet snaps the stick back almost immediately approximately 3 seconds prior to when Asseline did the same. Bechet's action is just prior to when the mode switched from pitch command to HAP mode. Asseline's motion is also more gradual.
