Does anyone know what is the speed of response time of the THS ?

Mechanically it is adjusted by a Jackscrew that is wound in or out by motors... Looking at a previous FDR graph of a/p control input, to actual movement, it seems as if it takes in the order of 15 seconds to travel.


In other words the elevator control is not as responsive as on an aerobatic airplane.
