And yet another thread going to waste by people posting utter rubbish on the A320 who propably have yet to set a foot in its cockpit:

There was a good one in the early days of the A320. Pushing back, shear pin broke, A/C kept going back, pilot said merde and applied the brakes, nosewheel left the ground. Computer said "we must be flying" and applied full power as we are to slow, you can finish the story!
Alpha floor protection (as it is called on the Airbus) is inhibited below 100' RA, as the crew of the A320 in Habsheim found out, and right at the beginning of the A320 ops that was, too!
