I see it, honestly. Law degradation requiring reset, inop elevators, Pitch unavailable, etc. Due to inop FCPC1. A Pitch problem at TO is very dangerous, no less so at altitude near the regime of 447 at loss of control.
Well, if you see it "honestly", what can I add to make you change your point?
For me, the problem described is not relevant to any "Law degradation", nor specific to a PRIM1 reset, but only inside the above configuration described or the AD wouldn't be so specific with this issue. Moreover, it is involving both FCPC2/3 resets (in the worst case) in normal law situation (where FCPCs are managing "protections") with a transient issue concerning elevators reset position at the moment they are needed the other way with a larger deflection. It doesn't imply something which lasted and any "pitch unavailability", it is said that the zero pitch could not be countered by imputs, neither that it would happen in other configurations.
Again, it is taking a few bits from this AD for making something else, ignoring what doesn't fit with theory.
