Hi HazelNuts39,
You and I must be reading this differently:
The behaviour of Alpha Max protection demonstrated in the video around time 10:50 shows an AoA of between 16° (me) to 17° (CONF iture) which is very close to the theoretical Alpha Max attempted to be demonstrated at Habsheim.
The complex system behaviour is described in FCOM in just one short paragraph, so I'm not surprised we interpret what it is trying to say differently.
