BOAC,
Never knew a navigator demand a 360...

The thing to do is to PREVENT HAL doing something stupid when things do 'off schedule' as he did in the 2001 A340 case. Providing his sticky little electrons can be kept AWAY from any flight controls all will be well. Agreed, but you evidently think – like I do – that "Hal" did not put AF447 into its climb.

There will normally be time to pause and assess - no need to 'forewarn' - yet another ECAM/chime'/flashing light to confuse the poor human?
There has to be a warning to the crew. What I've in mind is a warning that flight controls have degraded to ALT 2, that speed/AoA protections have also been lost, and that flight controls will degrade to Direct Law in 20 seconds, 19, 18, 17, 16....
We always "sit on our hands" while reading ECAM warnings (except the hand on the stick).
