Re: 330, 340 near miss not AF447

Another question for OG,

I'm still struggling with the contents of the AAIB bulletin concerning the 330 & 340 near miss....

....specifically the 340 Captain's statement that he observed an 'alpha lock' message and then the board's conclusion that it was probably an 'alpha floor' annunciation when under the circumstances, the lowest IAS & IMN stated as 205 & 0.67, it seems highly likely that neither of these messages would or even could be displayed.

Why would the board glom onto 'alpha floor' as a probable when it's inhibited above 0.53 IMN?

What am I missing here? Has someone else covered this earlier?
