Way back in the 'anals' of this thread, and now I think deleted, I asked which of the various quotes from 'FCOM' was the 'real' one. I now have the answer.
The FCOM 'Automatic Flight' section DOES mention the inhibition of stall protection via the A/T with the FLCH pitch mode. The FCOM section on 'Flight Controls' does NOT mention it in coverage of stall protection.
Logic?
Since we have no idea which (if any) mode 214 was in, this is posted purely for the elimination of (my) confusion.
EDIT:
It does appear that confusion over the 'delay' in evacuation is creeping in. My understanding is that it did not commence until 90 seconds after coming to rest, and this has NOTHNG to do with certification evac trials involving a different 90 seconds in which to clear the a/c..
