CONF iture,

"Thrust won’t prevent stall – Stall is question of AoA not of thrust."
Yes, thank you, I'm aware of that. Thrust alone won't prevent stall. I never said otherwise.

Now, do you disagree with the following?
For an aircraft following a given path (alt stable, descending or climbing), and all other parameters equal, more thrust = more speed = less AoA
(not when stalled, but Alpha Floor engages itself before stalling)


Lyman,

"Doze: Short question, one word necessary only. Is Overspeed protection active in Alternate Law 2 ?"
DW posted the requested "one word answer", but I'm wondering: Were U kidding when asking? ALT LAW 2 was because of a failure of the speed measurement, detected by the aircraft systems. How would a protection based on speed then be active?
