if the system had gone straight into Direct Law the aircraft would presumably have remained "speed stable" provided the elevator was not moved.
- an assumption only, based on no idea what the a/c was actually doing at the time!
Would Direct Law be easier to handle with unreliable air speeds than Alternate Law?
- come on now, you claim to be a 320 pilot. Surely you know that that would run counter to all AB philosophy of 'protecting' the machine? The software know best, you, the pilot, do not need to know.
