enuf of flight control laws and implementations from this old fart...
As one old fart to another
, roll direct is not a roll rate law. I know you know this, but it somehow got omitted in your story.
That is one of those step changes that can happen when control laws change and that the pilot flying had better be aware of.
Problem is, the law changes are not enunciated verbally by the aircraft system, and if the aircraft suddenly rolls sharply in response to a now excessive pilot roll input, the pilot may not see the annunciation on his PFD for a long time which can allow other significant problems to develop.
Instead the aircraft seems to prefer to play C chords and shout loud Stall-Stall warnings that are rapidly tuned out by a crew that needs a quieter environment to figure out WTF just happened.
Anyone else think there might be room for improvement in the annunciation of Control Law changes?
