@CONF iture:
Then keep it simple:
Normal, Alternate(PROT LOST) & Direct(PROT LOST)
Forget about the 'grigri' you still have in whatever Alternate....it states PROT LOST....that is what is the key in the ALt/Direct messages.
The 2 LAW/MODE you suggest is that referred to B. FBW? then you forgot to mention SECONDARY mode as degradation (i.a. no envelope protection) of the Normal Mode.
