BUSS - Back Up Speed SCALE
Right, I already corrected it, thanks.

Graybeard:
What law was controlling the flight test A330 when it stalled and crashed?
The aircraft was under Normal Law, but crashed because due to an earlier selection of an altitude of 2000' (if I remember correctly, they had been flying circuits before that Take-Off) the aircraft "grabbed" ALT* mode during a simulated engine failure after V1, and was allowed to stall. (Protections are not active during ALT* transition modes).
