Thanks for the replys.

I know the rudder moves, when the rudder trim switch is activated ,and the rudder padels get feed back .If the movement of the pedals now input to the ELACS WHICH THE DO AS A MATTER OF COURSE what does the elacs do with this signal?

When the a/c is on the ground ,moving the padels input to the rudder and input to the nose wheel steering . Steering input is electrical and rudder input is mechanical. The electrical input is to the ELAC 1/2 for steering to the BSCU .

In flight if you put an input with the rudder padel and at the same time operate the side stick, you have turn cordination with the sidestick ELACS to FACS to the rudder .. .With this scenario ruddder padels has priority . .over the sidestick logic.

Am I right in saying then that the signal from the rudder pedals through the ELACS stops dual inputs to the rudder??
