I agree wholeheartedly, The AOA protection is a very nice idea but evryone can see that in special circumstances (turbulence, ground effect) the detirmination of AOA can be less than perfect. So pilots end up limited by an inaccurate system. I have always felt that the protection system should be there, but that there should have been pressure sensors in the stick. full deflection would alow the pilot control with in the envelope, but a further pull of lets say 25 pounds would allow the pilot to exeed the envelope, I think this would have been a nice trade off.
By the way I absolutly hate normal law on final and in the flare turbulent or not otherwise it is a great invention.
