QUESTION: Did they ever get to the bottom of the Alpha Prot range? If not, the argument about protections against the stall are mute.
Too much emphasis is put on FBW protections, plain and simple. I suppose having g and roll protections were useful too? Let's not forget Alpha Floor protection.
Without any thrust from the engines, all Alpha Prot would allow you to do is have the highest rate of sink you can get at the lowest speed possible. Who is for about 3000 ft/min rate of descent at 125 kts?
The argument is ridiculous.
