I'm not sure of your terminology - I was thinking of regular Airbus alpha (angle of attack) protection. No matter how hard/far the pilot pulls on the joystick, the computer will not allow too high an AoA. (Same thing that limited how much Sully could flare, touching down on the Hudson.)
But I don't know when that is active or inhibited at what altitude and in what phase(s) of flight. Never actually flown Airbus-style.
