Should the STATUS page eventually reflect availability of the A/P (by exclusion) even though ALT2 initially latched with AP 1+2 displayed as INOP on the STATUS page?
Is the displayed A/P STATUS and availability updated automatically or does it have to be cleared?
As a general rule ECAM messages and INOP status are cleared automatically when the fault or inop conditions are not active anymore.
(edit: thanks clandestino also, and is roll direct an FCSC function in this case?)
If you allow me,
No, roll direct is part of ALTERNATE (ALT2x) control of the FCPC.
FCSC ALTERNATE YAW/DIRECT control becomes active if all 3 FCPCs failed to control in DIRECT.
To set that in perspective:
Priority:
1 = FCPC #1 in NORMAL
2 = FCPC #2 in NORMAL
3 = FCPC #3 in NORMAL
4 = FCPC #1 in ALTERNATE (active @ AF447)
--
7 = FCPC #1 in DIRECT
--
10 = FCSC(#1 & #2) ALTERNATE YAW/DIRECT
