Hi Owain,
The question is WTH was this not carried over to Alternate laws??? I believe it is carried over on the A320.
I believe you are correct: FCOM OP-020, Flight Controls, Alternate Law
"At the flight envelope limit, the aircraft is not protected, i.e.:
In high speed, natural aircraft static stability is restored with an overspeed warning
In low speed (at a speed threshold that is below VLS), the automatic pitch trim stops and natural longitudinal static stability is restored, with a stall warning at 1.03 VS1G."
Since the aircraft is no longer "protected" in Alt Law, how did the certification process of A330 satisfy:
Section 5. Stability
26. Static Longitudinal Stability and Demonstration of Static Longitudinal Stability -
§§ 25.173 and 25.175. ?
