Yes, but Alpha-floor could trigger whatever the status of the A/THR ... unless one of the steps to prevent Alpha-Floor to trigger has been applied. It appears that none of these steps were applied.
OK, but for my information what would these additional steps have been?
Following on from that, would these steps have been known to the pilot? If they were then why did he not apply them if his intent was to make the demonstration with Alpha -Floor inhibited? If he was unaware that he should take these extra measures then he made the flight
believing that he had inhibited it. In which case my question:
- why didn't he fly the demonstration in a manner consistent with his intent and earlier actions?
remains valid.
