787 Secondary Mode

This message is an indication that the 787 Primary Flight Control System has dropped to Secondary Mode. The Autopilot will no longer be available. I am not sure of the status of the Flight Director. One of the most likely reasons for losing Normal Mode and ending up in Secondary Mode is loss of valid air data which would make any Flight Director commands that rely on air data similarly suspect.
