Reading that Airbus Test Manual, written in the customarily weird fractured franglais, I do not understand what (p48)

Disconnect this α floor function at once
is supposed to mean. "Disconnect"? How??

Also, the instruction to record the 3 AoA values and to ensure that 'The AoA must not differ by more than 0.5º when compared to the (pitch-fpa) data' is ambiguous. Does this refer to the mean AoA value, or any single AoA value?

It is not a precise flight test document, to my mind.
