Everyone keeps giving Sully as an example of Human vs automation, when everyone forgets that the A320 Sully was piloting never left Normal Law.

During the flight, he was assisted and, during the last seconds of the flight, he did not have any control over the airplane because it was on the edge of the envelope.

Would he be able to pull off a perfect landing if the airplane were in Direct Law? Maybe, maybe not.
