Flying outside normal law

D/W 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.

Please forgive a non-flying lurker his ignorance of A/B details.

My impression is that the application of protections is intended to be "transparent" to the pilot. If so:

How do pilots learn where the protection limits are? [In normal law, aren't protections just transparently
enforced when the pilot's command actions try to take the aircraft outside the permitted envelope?]

How are pilots expected to know where the protection limits "should be" when flying outside normal law?



... or are you just saying that outside normal law you should intentionally stay well within the a/c's
performance envelope? In the expectation/hope that that that will keep you out of trouble.
