that's exactly what airbus does... there are a set of "laws" that govern flight at different stages of flight "normal, ground, flight, flare, alternate 1, alternate 2, direct, and mechanical" quite complex systems, that.

And this is what contributed to the crash of AF 447.

That said, I prefer either the older boeings, with minimal computer interference when hand flying or the Airbus approach. Because Airbus at least appear to know what they are doing.

This Boeing-Airbus chimera isn't really working.

The stories where the computer stops the human from doing something stupid and saving the day never makes it in the news.
