The "Hard protection" are they even a paradox
Let me explain ...
When the aircraft is in "normal" law (that is to say when things are going well .. the aircraft is in an optimum state and in the specification) all "hard protection" are active (recall that they are there for the pilot to fly the plane in an optimum way .. that is to say keep it from flying out of the flight domain)
When it starts to go wrong .. often the normal law no longer applies and some "hard protection" are no longer in force
Ironically it is during the time when there are problems and when the pilot would be glad to have all help he can (and the "hard protection" are flying aid) that "hard protection" choice to partially stop .. or totally
Vanity Fair:
Nice article .. nothing new ..
