AlphaZuluRomeo, thanks for the clarification, it's very helpful.

If I understand correctly, you're suggesting "limiting any further NU move" of the THS at Stall in Alternate.

I like it - it's a rephrasing or refinement of part #1 of the earlier suggestion, with its implicit parts:

If I understand correctly - please correct me if I my understanding is wrong - there is an implicit relying on the fact that this would happen after a transition from Normal at cruise at high altitude, to Alternate, so that the THS would not be at max NU, and the Stall Warning would start well before the THS would/could get there.... I like it!.... Cruise at high altitude is an important condition...

Edit: The THS move ND is left to the initiative of the pilot, continueing to function as defined, auto trim consequence of strong and persistent Elevators ND, or manual trim THS ND.

Please note the THS logic in normal law (from the FCOM):

NB : 2° ND is max position ND of the THS.
So basically, the idea I proposed is already the way Airbus'logic deals with the THS in Normal law. Let's do the same in Alternate law.
