What must be considered in Direct Laws?

In the context of Direct Laws, particularly in fly-by-wire aircraft like the Dassault Falcon 7X, the focus is on the aircraft's control laws that regulate how the aircraft responds to pilot inputs. When operating under Direct Laws, the flight control systems provide a more direct relationship between the pilot's commands and the aircraft's control surfaces, often without the smoothing and protections found in other flight modes.

One of the key considerations in Direct Laws is the need to maneuver with caution and remain within the aircraft’s G-limits. This is crucial because Direct Laws allow for increased responsiveness and agility, but they also mean that pilots must be vigilant about the aircraft's structural limitations. Exceeding G-limits can lead to increased risk of structural damage or loss of control, as the inherent protections offered in more automated flight modes are reduced or absent in Direct Laws.

In contrast, options that suggest flying at maximum speed, maintaining altitude by any means, or utilizing all available auto modes do not align with the critical focus on safe maneuvering within the aircraft’s limits under Direct Laws. While managing speed and altitude are important aspects of flying, the emphasis in Direct Laws specifically highlights the importance of maintaining structural integrity and control through careful maneuvering and awareness of G-forces
