You might have rush your reading as I didn’t mention VMO but rather "speed red upper band" which identifies not only VMO but also the maximum speed for each flap configuration, at least on a moving speed scale.
To exceed VFE during windshear recovery can be very easy, actually I’ve done that myself during sim exercise, am I below average (?) … that’s not impossible.
But let me go back to my earlier question regarding VMO exceeding at low altitude.
I know that Airbuses have that reputation to be somehow less robust than Boeing products but I’m still amazed that Airbus thinks
a few knots exceeding over VMO is serious enough to take over the control from a distracted (?) pilot.
A few years back some Boeings, at pretty level flight or at least far from a dive, hit very precisely some targets. Obviously these birds didn’t experience any kind of control issue.
The Story says these birds were an astonishing
100 knots above VMO !?
