I'm referring to the constantly changing variable of airspeed throughout. The airspeed did not increase enough to have a significant impact on calculated maximum alpha until a point where they were just about to make contact with the trees. The engines spooled down well before the aircraft crossed the threshold. The aircraft maintained airspeed based on that initial value, and maintained pitch attitude equivalent to maximum AoA available. The airspeed didn't increase substantially until after the engines spooled up again.
