A QUESTION FOR AIRBUS PILOTS
This accident has highlighted, amongst other things, that when an issue arises where ALTERNATE LAW is use, the crew simply could not cope, with disastrous consequences.
Just how much time is spent in the simulator, once on line, practising these non normal states?
How frequently during normal line operations have drivers had to cope without NORMAL LAW in use.
If you don't keep in regular practice with the "OTHER LAWS", it is hardly surprising that it will prove to be a challenge, even for the more experience crews.
I suspect that this is such an infrequent event, it may well be a "one in a life time event" ?
For the avoidance of any doubt, I have never been AIRBUS rated.
