"For you guys that do not understand Airbus FBW, DIRECT LAW flies just like a regular airplane, no protections."
Guiones, forgive me, but you lose autotrim, which makes quite a difference!
If you use full thrust then idle power etc...the plane cannont be controlled by the sidestick (elevator lacks authority if you do not manually use the trim wheel...and on the A320 that is not a reflex action)
No regular airplane there if you have not said during briefing prior to those manoeuvers "we shall lose autotrim, I will use the trim wheel to control attitude...)
