Is it true to say that on Alternate Law, the A/C can be manually controlled thru the stabilizer and the rudder? Today 17:44
Hi Coyote44, Alternate Law is no big issue - some of the magic protections will be lost depending on the failure (bank angle, g, overspeed, alpha etc). The aircraft effectively becomes a traditional airplane. Then comes Direct Law, which is still fully functional control of flight, before it eventually degrades to rudder, trim and thrust control only.
