There are no alternate procedures for extending flaps/slats or arming ground spoilers on A320. Manual gear extension will leave the gear bay doors dangling and will deprive you of nosewheel steering. Extending the slats or activating engine anti-ice rises minimum idle N1 but otherwise doesn't affect "FADEC logic". A320 isn't difficult to fly in direct law - it evens feel livelier and trimming by wheel, C-172 style, felt quite fun, at least for me. Mind you, that was in the sim, I can't recall that my company's fleet ever suffered degradation into alternate law. A colleague of mine, flying in the ME, once had dual radalt failure. He claims that real aeroplane behaves even better in direct law than sim. Air/ground sensing on A320 controls much more than just ground spoilers and spoilers are armed after the final hi-lift devices config is set, anyway. Please be patient and wait for the report. Thank you.
