(electronic) Aeroflot Boeing 777 inflight.jpg  Aircraft with
fly-by-wire flight controls require computer controlled flight
control modes that are capable of determining the operational
mode (computational law) of the aircraft.[1][2]  A reduction of
electronic flight control can be caused by the failure of a
computational device, such as the flight control computer or an
information providing device, such as the ADIRU.[citation

augmentation in normal flight, such as increased protection of
the aircraft from overstress or providing a more comfortable
flight for passengers by recognizing and correcting for
turbulence and providing yaw damping.[citation needed]  Two
aircraft manufacturers produce commercial passenger aircraft
with primary flight computers that can perform under different
flight control modes (or laws). The most we
