I asked a sim instructor this very same question: what if the aircraft thinks it is in a stall whilst it is clearly not. How do I safely deactivate normal law.

I only got an answer after a lot of huffing and puffing, whilst I think this should have been standard knowledge to all pilots.


Fine. My biggest worry: what if this happens shortly after lift off in IMC? Is there enough time to realize what is wrong and press the appropriate switches?
