ExV238, OK465, Chris Scott: yes, CONF iture's reference is being made to the movement of the THS as it follows-on the elevators' attempt to maintain the 1 G datum when the aircraft is not in Direct Law.

This thread diversion into what has been since 2009 and moreso since Perpignan and AirAsia a very complex series of arguments and important points, is valuable as it clarifies for many who may not have read the original AF447 threads and who are professional airmen, aircraft system behaviour in extremely rare circumstances, the point being, notwithstanding, automation has enhanced flight safety in the same way EGPWS, TCAS & ADS have. It is abundantly clear that automation is reliable to certification standards cited elsehwere in the thread, which, it is important to acknowledge, do not guarantee or contemplate 100% fault-free operation.
