I flew Alternate Law and landed Direct Law in a 321 after AOA transient due icing. (Unreliable Speed, A/THR and AP lost, all recovered after we climbed above the icing level,which was FL220). Direct Law in the a/c was easier than the sim, not bad at all
The only problem Airbus pilot have is, that “your plane” situation forces you to fly aircraft you don’t know (character of the flight controls and aircraft response on side stick is very sensitive). 99% of the time on the sim, we never fly Direct Law....
