If these systems fail, then control is thrown back to the pilots. Presumably you would then want the interface between the pilot and the aircraft to be as intuitive as possible, you would want full control authority, and you would want to encourage the pilot to actually fly the aircraft. Is this what the pilot gets however? Or do they get pages of warnings on their displays, information overload, confusion about what is happening, and some unfamiliar degraded flight law?
Well said Slats.
Just what an old Fuddy Duddy (according to Amos) like me is concerned about.
