What makes phugoid damping a feature of high AoA protection but irrelevant when high AoA protection is activated from pitch command initially ?
In other words, by which subterfuge Bechet is not subject to phugoid damping as he is obviously hitting high AoA protection too ?

No stall - Alpha max - How great is it really !
You just confirm here that everything was in the aerodynamics but only the FCS restricted Asseline at 2.5 deg short of alpha max and deprived him the opportunity to survive the poor situation he initially put himself in.
