Correction. The pitch before flare is +4 degrees from there it goes down to -2 degrees so total pitch down is 6 degrees and not 8 degrees as I said. A330 has two flare modes when out of normal law. In ALT1 it has flare mode in which roll is normal only pitch is direct stick to elevator and when in ALT 2 it is like A320, landing gear down direct law. In dual RA fail, inability to read radio altitude is the only problem so it uses the ALT1 flare mode. When in ELEC EMER since there are many inop systems that is not possible. So it reverts to complete gear down direct law. In both these cases the nose down pitch comes from speed reduction and the thrust reduction during flare. The FCS does not apply any nose down elevator.
