That's not what I said, and it's not what Airbus say either. What *I* said was that the Alternate flight law was designed to handle as as closely to Normal Law as possible despite the failures that caused the drop to Alternate.

Obviously it can't be exactly the same because there's a failure.

How about your statement below? (Bolding by me)

The point I was making was that you don't need to know the specifics as far as Alternate Law is concerned - fly the thing as you would normally fly it, just don't expect the protections to be there.
