Flight Detent
The only exception in A320 is with sharklet fitted aircraft where FAC and Yaw damper failures the A/C goes in alternate law but with gear down does not go to direct law. I personally asked airbus they replied to me that in sharklet aircraft with these failures, because of the improved flight control computers the aircraft actually remains in normal law with flare mode available. If it was shown as normal law the crew might treat these failures as insignificant so is shown as alternate law.
