My question is; on approach, when the gear is selected down and the AP turned off, and the 330 flight controls revert to FLARE LAW, will there be a "direct law" ECAM triggered ? (and subsequent approach/landing distance procedures).
The point is: Without the RAs there is no way for the computer to know, when to go into the Flare Law. Therefore you cannot engage the Approachmode at all, and it will revert to manual flight at gear down (so it is smart to get it on speed and correct descent rate when lowering the gear, to keep the trim requirements down)
