Anyway, Airbus don't have an automatic flap retraction system in case of overspeed ?
From the report

Quote:
The speed exceeded the VFE for CONF 2 by about 12 knots. The overspeed warning (CRC) triggered at VFE+4 kt. The flaps started to retract, ordered by the FLAP LOAD RELIEF protection.
So definetely there is an automatic system. Where does it stop ask someone ? I don't know it is not my duty to establish what is right or wrong in an aircraft.
