) the ride, remain totally hands off at this point. (Monitor the FPV and SD Flight Control page for additional information.)
The THS will reach 13 ANU and AOA will reach 40+ hands-off. If you have the simulator Input Guidance capability selection at the instructor station, you can monitor AOA through-out on the VOR DME readout.
BTW, conversely, what do think the THS does in dive in ALT, without protections other than g limiting, with the SS full aft and airspeed (dynamic pressure) still increasing?
This is what the airplane is supposed to do. Why should a pilot try to achieve 10 degrees of FPA at 35000 ft in a normal flight ?
