Hi DW,
Before we get away from ourselves, it's worth bearing in mind that it has worked just fine for millions of flights over 26 years in service.
Agreed. Normal Law with its protections is very good.

But even you may be persuaded that ALT Law (without protections but with auto trim continuing beyond the stall warning) doesn't have a good record.

As Bpalmer says in post #773 "G-load demand is a crappy flight control law to be in for stall recover. When the airplane starts to fall (accelerate downward G <1.0) the airplane's reaction to maintain a neutral-sidestick command of 1.0g is up elevator, followed by nose-up stabilizer. ooops."
