Another misconception of your own making :
Alpha Floor does not command maximum thrust to prevent stall, but only to provide maximum performance in term of altitude gain when high AoA are reached and want to be maintained.
One day you'll get it :
You can permanently disable the autothrust function, and therefore lose Alpha Floor, but you can still maintain full back stick without stalling, IDLE thrust. The system will maintain Alpha Max for you - NO STALL - Going down YES - BUT NO STALL - STILL FLYING
Comprenez-vous à
présent ?
Stop your disinformation please.
