With the sidestick left in neutral the airplane will pitch up on its own -
-- in AoA law at alpha=alpha-prot if the speed is greater than Valpha-prot
-- in Nz law when the pitch attitude is greater than the pitch which will maintain constant airspeed - AoA increases to maintain Nz=1 when airspeed reduces.
No way. I think you should read flight controls chapter. It is high angle of attack protection. It begins at alpha prot. A protection can only be called protection when it prevents the pilot from doing it. In high speed protection if it pitches down it is not a protection it is destruction. Similarly in high AOA protection if AOA increases what kind of protection is that? Your first case, the speed is greater than Valpha prot you are not at all in any protection zone and side stick commands load factor so why would it go to alpha prot? If you intentionally keep pitching up it pitches up to alpha max and no more. if you release the SS it will not maintain alpha max but pitch down to alpha prot.
