Flight controls would be in Alternate Law, not Normal Law which you alluded to in your post. Sully had a degraded PFD that would have stall speed indicated, but both FACs were offline (unless he eeset FAC1) and in Alternate Law, the aircraft can be stalled.
Outstanding job by everyone in the air and on the ground/water!

He started APU immediately so he had electrical configuration for Normal Law on flight controll and..........I am not sure but I believe you have to have total electrical failure for the anti stall system to fail...
I have a very good friend in the training department at an Airline that operates 320s so I will ask about that........
