As an aside, its interesting to note that should the aircraft go into Rated or Unrated N1, for V2500 powered aircraft, then the Alpha Floor protection is no longer available...

Tailwinds :cool:

There is also (A-340 anyway) a mode of alpha prot that will stop flap/slat retraction if the aerodynamic loading (bank angle or turbulence eg. during retraction) is excessive. "Alpha Lock" is annunciated and the retaction continues when the conditions are eased.
