I'm having flashbacks to the line in "A Few Good Men" when Tom Cruise is asked, "Is that clear?"
And he says, "Crystal".
Well I'll tell ya folks, even if you pitch up from 35000 feet and 265 KCAS to 20 degrees nose high with idle thrust, the lowest Mach you will see before 'prot' finally gets the nose down is about 0.58....no alpha floor.
And 0.67 was the lowest Mach recorded in the near miss.
Someone please 'splain' to me how it's possible to get alpha floor activated above 0.53.
