I've never flown either type, so I'm wondering:

bsevenfour:

The B777s autothrust system clearly allows the aircraft to be landed (ie. low altitude + airspeed/AoA close to stall situation), so is there a sort of "landing mode" on the B777 as well? (OK, maybe it's not actually called landing mode, but you now what I mean...)


Phoenix_X:

Prior to the crash of Air France 296 - did the aircraft itself automatically switch off the alpha floor protection because of the low altitude? I take it they were flying "manually"... Is this so with the latest software on today's A320s?
Which types of warnings do you get when approaching stalling AoA/speed? Is there an Airbus version of stick shaker as well?
