Simply emphasizing on the pilots that at higher levels applying full back stick is bizarre, irrational and suicidal and never to be done in any law is good enough. There are enough indications on the PFD to indicate change in flight control law for anyone who cares to look. Applying back stick and not checking attitude is simply poor instrument flying technique. It is as bad as SFO accident where visual approach was flown without ever looking at speed. In all these accidents there were professional deficiencies in pilots who were at controls and those were exposed, that's it. As I said before all one has to do is to routinely notice the bank, pitch and thrust the automation uses at higher levels and when you loose the automation just do the same yourself.
