SLF questions here. I am not a pilot, but have over 30 years in the IT industry, most of that focused on user interface. My questions are;

On the 330, when the autopilot disengages, how is that communicated to the crew? Also, from the same perspective, how is the transition from Normal Law to Alternate or Direct Law communicated? Is it possible that when the flight, possibly unexpectedly, entered severe turbulence, that one or more of those cues may have been missed?
