The reason I keep saying involve the manufacturer is because of FBW. A conventional response to an under or over speed may not take into account the aircraft behaviour due normal law protections. There have been incidents of AP disconnection due over speed and then subsequent engagement of alpha prot causing rapid climb resulting in near air miss. There have been low airspeed events without any failure but due to unusual environmental changes. We know that a pilot cannot expect survive by his own experiences alone. The manufacturer with his resources provides a better platform to tackle these events. Experience is not a name given to mistakes we committed and got away.
