Or, what happens if the protections kick out and a pilot with VERY GOOD skills
gets handed a compromised aircraft in the midst of moderate to extreme turbulence and with instrument readings which are misleading, at best? Nothing at all good I fear.
After reading this thread for several weeks, that's about the best summary i've seen to date.

I'n not qualified to comment as a commercial pilot and it's some years since I did any flying, but it amazes me that there are not more events with systems that degrade to such a condition and just at the time when the crew need them the most.

One could say not smart enough by half...
