Lucky guy and A4
Don't worry about that nice man. There is an Airbus presentation on this subject. What I stated is from that. Any speed above Vls is safe but if you fly at Vls in turbulence for long time it can trigger alfa floor during maneuvring. 230kts is flap1 lowering speed. S is the speed at which with +ve trend you retract. I have not said anything about alfa lock I am talking about alpfa floor. If you fly below GD it may trigger at 40 degrees of bank. On AP AC does not bank that much anyway. Have buffer by all means if you have but surely don't bust flaps for that. As long as you retract at S speed accelerating going clean below green dot is not forbidden.
