planned and disabling of the alpha floor certainly was but it was never executed - chalk one up for sloppy execution. Section 2.3 clearly states Alpha floor was disabled as the result of RA going below 100. Now if anyone thinks exact mechanism of disabling alpha floor is of concern in the accident where narrowbody full of passengers was deliberately flown below 100ft at 120 kt and idle thrust - feel free to entertain me further.

Corrected in the final report; after further analysis lap and crotch strap were found to be fastened.

It is advisory only but it's for operator information and it is up to operator to determine what info (if any) from MOI will be distributed to flightcrews and means of promulgation.
