I guess that brings us back to the old discussion about round-out vs. flare
(U.S. books seem to distinguish the two). The jets are are nose-high and

The control system would compensate for that, pushing the aerosurface to
give the desired aircraft body rate.

Cameron,
If the simulation is accurate the delays are due to
the aircraft inertia and not control system delays. Hydraulic controls
don't have a humanly discernable amount of delay. Simulators have their
own delays too, the time it takes a signal to get through the circuit from the
