PRO-SUP-10 Characteristic speeds:
VLS : Lowest Selectable Speed.
Represented by the top of an amber strip along the airspeed scale on the PFD.
Computed by the FAC based on FMS weight data, and on aerodynamic data as a backup,
and corresponds to 1.13 VS during takeoff or following a touch and go.
Becomes 1.23 VS, after retraction of one step of flaps.
Becomes 1.28 VS, when in clean configuration.
Note: If in CONF 0 VLS were 1.23 VS (instead of 1.28 VS), the alpha protection strip
would hit the VLS strip on the PFD.

The V Aplha prot is calculated using the AOA-vanes and depends on configuration.
