If my memory serves right our A 320īs will auto retract spoilers once almost max AOA is reached ( Alpha Prot. )
Our 319īs will do it as soon as TOGA is reached.
There are a few things which I personally donīt like abaut this FBW system but after almost 30 years in non fly by wire and just a couple in the Airbus I would rader be on this one for a windshear and most likelly also for a GPWS .
The G limitation is in my humble opinion not that important in probabbly 95% of this two cases , itīs more of an immediate action . Full aft stick providing a 2.5 Gīs pull up and then knowing that Alpha max. will be kept when stick held full aft will hopefully promote pilots to expedite the escape maneuver.
( Donīt be picky abaut the difference between one vrs. the other procedure
Would I have liked to have some sort of an override option for the G protection ?
Yes I would , most likelly used in a differen scenario.
