In a recent memo:
"The trouble shooting efforts of the flight crew ( they had turned off the 3 ADR systems) eventually placed the aircraft into ‘Alternate law’ which allowed the Pilots to override the Alpha protection and recover control although in a degraded state."
Why do airbus insist on regarding alternate and direct law "degraded"
Every aircraft I've flown prior to this airborne Citroen has been flown in "Direct" Law. Flying in Direct law is a non event really & I love the paradox in the above statement. Flying with the controls in a degraded state allowed the recovery of an aircraft flying in a degraded state???
