You do have direct deflection for elevator, but it doesn't mean you're in Direct Law.

Thanks...been a while.

Question: doesn't roll change as well? IE, in Normal Law, stick deflection gives a roll RATE....I thought that changed in Flare mode so you could apply cross-controls a la conventional aircraft.
