Normal Law

"Realistically, it doesn't matter whether or not the autopilot is engaged. For any flight condition that is a valid overspeed at an authorized altitude, for 1 g flight, you will be above the 1 g stall speed."

I am trying to establish some possibilities related to Normal Law, Alternate Law, and loss (or add) of protections. Especially as it may pertain to FCM response to two flight modes: Stalled, and Overspeed (simultaneous).

......As it applies (may apply?) to a discussion of the forty seconds surrounding the loss of AutoPilot by the crew. Because of the conditions established by the report, and the training video, I want to have an understanding of how the pilots took the situation in, and responded, (knowing what we know, and entertaining what they may have known)?

Probably need an A 330 pilot? I asked a friend, a Captain on the 320.... As a ten year Captain, I asked him how many times he had flown in Alternate Law?

His answer: Zero.
