too much airspeed and too fast/long landing leading to a crash happened numerous times on other airliners before moving TL or not.
Air Inter seemed to be a myriad of automation unfamiliarity, yes some design issues , questionable procedures (speed, no GPWS) , again where come the non moving TL in play?

BS, pardon my French, no pilot in their right mind has the alpha floor protection as part of a landing procedure.
BTW at 50' RA the Airbus switches to flare mode.
