Bergerie1 and PJ2,
20 years ago, pilots were the lords of the skies. They had a dreamlike profession, a proper social status and a nice paycheck. Then the automated systems and FBW were introduced for the idea to decrease the pilot loading, for increased safety and comfort, but mostly to minimize the fuel consumption and maximize the profits.
Basically in normal law, the FBW aircraft can be flown by grandma, the controls are used as mouse&keyboard that input the computers. We know well that in fact the computer flies the plane. Perhaps for this reason the pilot is seen more and more as a computer operator and his role in the cockpit is increasingly impaired. If we look at the other side of the double-edged sword, if the plane leaves the normal law, then you need the superman in the cockpit. Well, you can not have both of them in the same skin. I mean, we must understand that we have to bring grandma and superman to a common denominator. If the plane leaves the normal law, the pilot must be put in a unique law "back-up flight - direct law", back to stick and rudder. The aircraft must comply accordingly. I am referring mostly to the horizontal stabilizer function, if the pilot's command is nose down, then the aerodynamic vector of stabilizer-elevator combination must be up and not vice-versa. The operator must provide appropriate training for pilot, to fly the plane in the conventional way, at any stage of the flight or emergency situation.
