I'm no expert but I've been trying to follow the AF447 tech thread with the aid of the Flight Crew Operating Manual here..
http://www.mercadodaaviacao.com.br/a...t_controls.pdf
In the section on Alternate Law it says..
Quote:
Low speed stability
At low speed, a nose down demand is introduced in reference to IAS, instead of angle of attack and alternate law changes to direct law.
Won't going to Direct Law remove the nose down demand that it just tried to apply? It says in Direct Law all protections are inoperative.
Have I missunderstood?
