The modes available when operating with Alternate Law with Reduced Protections are: Flight, Flare, Ground

• A. Flight, Flare, Ground
• B. Normal, Takeoff, Landing
• C. Approach, Go-Around, Cruise
• D. Taxi, Parking, Shutdown

Answer: (A)

In Alternate Law with Reduced Protections, the flight control system still provides three distinct modes that govern how pilot inputs are translated into surface movements, even though some protections are unavailable. The first mode, Flight, covers normal flight operations where control surfaces respond to commands with the degraded protections still in effect, giving the pilot authority while the system remains active in the background. The second mode, Flare, is a specialized state used as the aircraft is approaching the runway to manage attitude and descent rate for a smoother touchdown, even when protections aren’t at their full strength. The third mode, Ground, takes over once the aircraft is on the surface, focusing on safe ground handling, steering, and braking by restricting in-air control logic that isn’t appropriate on the ground. These three modes exist to ensure predictable and safe handling under degraded protections: you still have a standard flight mode for normal operation, a landing-support mode to cushion touchdowns, and a ground mode to manage taxi and rollout. Other groupings in the choices refer to phases of flight or operations rather than to the configured control-law modes under Alternate Law with Reduced Protections.
