Alpha-floor protection

Dozy;

While I agree with the entire post, just a minor semantic correction in your last paragraph to avoid confusion:

The protection that commands TO/GA (the EEC controls the spooling up) is named alpha-floor. IIRC it is activated in normal law when the AoA exceeds the corresponding threshold (between alpha-prot and alpha-max), sudden or not.
