Thanks Tyro and flying headbutt. What makes me wonder is that on the A330 you still get the "USE MAN PITCH TRIM" on PFD as you do on the A320 for the same scenario. In the normal flare mode with no failures on the A330 you obviously don't get it as you don't get it on the A320. The subtile difference here as far as I can interpret it is that the A320 FCOM says when LG down -> direct law and the A330 talks about Flare mode only. Handling wise where is the difference ? Looking it this ways it seems that the final stages of the approach (ie AP OFF LG DOWN) will be flown in the same way in both airplanes.
Cheers.
