    Study Notes

    Aircraft Flight Control Laws

    • Extreme attitudes trigger a modified flight control law, the "abnormal attitude law".
    • This law prioritizes pilot recovery of normal flight conditions.
    • The abnormal attitude law activates when specific parameters exceed limits:
      • Pitch attitude above 50° nose up or 30° nose down
      • Bank angle above 125°
      • Angle of attack above 40°
      • Airspeed above 440 knots or below 60 knots
      • Mach number above 0.96 or below 0.1.
    • When the law activates:
      • Pitch "alternate law" is used.
      • Roll "direct law" is used.
      • Yaw "mechanical law" is used.
      • Autotrim is deactivated.
      • "USE MAN PITCH TRIM" is displayed on the primary flight display (PFD).
      • "F/CTL ALTN LAW" is displayed on the electronic centralized aircraft monitor (ECAM).
    • When the aircraft returns to normal flight envelope, the abnormal attitude law disengages, restoring:
      • Pitch "alternate law" with autotrim.
      • Roll "direct law".
      • Yaw "alternate law".
      • "F/CTL ALTN LAW" remains visible on the ECAM.
