Is "direct law" can be crudely translated as "direct crash" ?
My point was to underline what seems (for me) to be lacking in pilot's basic documentation about flying their aircraft. I don't think that such knowledge of "conventional aircraft" may still be considered today as being part of the background of that many pilots than it was in the past. Much more informations would be needed in this flight manual about how the aircraft would behave in manual control during reversion phases mostly without any protection.

If your point was to make fun of mine, this is completely zero added value, like one said. Obviously, any pilot needs surely to be trained from A to Z in order to ensure his full ability to fly whatever aircraft. Hence, I think that this manual is not reflecting very well this basic requirement, considering some parts of its flight domain, for the reasons explained above.
