There are only two listed failure which put the aircraft in direct law. One is transitory and pilot recovers to alternate law. The other is permanent when you loose both the ADIs and have to fly by the standby system so no help. You don't need steep turns in direct law. PJ2 understood what I am saying. Alt1 or Alt2 there is nothing to practice except fly it properly within the envelope. Please leave AF447 out as it is a long list of what not to do and what he didn't know how to do. Even normal law protections are not meant to be evoked through sloppy flying. There are hundreds of airbus pilot retiring every year without actual experience of any protections. Problem is pilots are becoming complacent with automation and loosing their scan and not monitoring speed or attitude or bank. They need basic raw data practice nothing to do with any law. Unlike military there is a commercial pressure on training. Airlines would rather save money on training for something that is not likely to happen or just do it to tick the boxes.
