>>1861088Honestly, the way it's written down makes it look more complicated than it actually is. Alternate law means the plane will obey exactly what the pilot tells it to do, as opposed to normal law where the plane flies the same regardless of speed or weight. Within alternate law the flight computers set some limitations to what the pilot can or cannot command the plane to do, but the pilot should act as if there are no limitations at all. This isn't a case where the limitations nearly caused the plane to crash, like qf72, so i wouldn't put that with any fault of the computers.
The completely disconnected pilot and co-pilot flight controls are FAR more questionable, especially since it averages out two inputs rather than force one side to remain in control, and because the the only warnings for this is a barely visible screen display and an aural warning that is overriden by other more pressing (stall or airspeed) alarms. If i were a lawyer I would focus on that.
The stall warning not sounding below 60 knots has to do with the airspeed indicator not working at that speed, although they could have probably used gear position to to confirm it the plane is on the ground and that the warning can be shut off.
As for the airlines, the real question is how bonin was evaluated as being fit to fly, and if it was legitimate, if the base training must be improved.
