Well, will come back to all this later: just these questions:

How do we leave Alpha protection? Ok, agreed. The elevators simply pitch down the plane. (By the way, you say that the plane will return to normal law but even during Vprot, the plane is in normal law.).

Will the elevators pitch UP at VLS or something like that?
When does the elevator STOP pitching DOWN??

At VMO/MMO protection, I think that the plane will pitch UP only if we release the stick.

But, I have already asked these questions few months ago.
See what Flight Detent has answered!

Answer #3: " You fly level, with stick released, and set throttles to idle. The aircraft will start decelerating toward speed Valpha prot (the yellow band). At Vaprot the low speed protection activates, and in order not to go any slower, the aircraft will pitch down to maintain Vaprot."

He clearly says "MAINTAIN Vaprot."

But I still have a doubt so I ask him in QUESTIONS AT LEVEL N°4:
" Will "that" speed be managed by pitch?"

---> "that speed" = Vaprot.

His answer #7:

" Yes, the aircraft will pitch up or down to maintaint V alphaprot."

You can just check all this page 1!

Well, I think that Flight Detent is a real airline pilot.

Thanks
