So

Flying along, all seems fine. The pilots were perhaps a bit tense, they spent some time in ruminating about what was coming. Something didn't agree with the AP limits, so it tripped out. Did the pilots ever acknowledge the Law degrade? If so, PF seems to have forgotten what was different about it, loss of Alpha Prot, and that twitchy roll axis? From the endless pull on the stick, he had to have been locked into Normal Law, mentally....to the end. Normal Law permits a sloppy, mayonnaise stirring stick. A friend flew the A320 and loved it. He had thousands of hours in it and it was his favorite ac until he ended his career as Captain in the 777. In 2012, I asked him in all of his time in the bus, how many times it switched out of Normal Law....."not once". I then asked him if he could explain Alternate Law 2a.... "never heard of it"...hmmmm​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
