CONF iture: Yeah, OK, I see your point. You're right, sorry about that.

Allow me to change my words into :
Alpha Floor (TOGA) can not be used to recover from a stall, but it may be useful to try to prevent:
- on an unprotected aircraft(*): a situation where the crew will only have two (losing) choices: maintening a no-stall path leading to a crash too if the trajectory is constrained, or pulling the aircraft into a low-altitude stall (leading to a crash too)
- or, on a protected aircraft, the activation of Alpha Max/High AoA protection, leading to a crash if the trajectory is constrained (e.g. Habsheim)

(*) NB: academic case, at last re: Airbii

[Rem: DW just wrote that better than me]
