High speed protections:

VMO + 6 knots or MMO + M.01.
Autopilot disconnects
Pitch trim is frozen
Bank angle limit is reduced from 67° to 45°
If no sidestick input is made, the aircraft rolls to wings level.
Sidestick nose-down authority is reduced and a momentary positive pitch-up command is introduced which can be overridden.
If the sidestick is held forward, airspeed will increase further but will stabilize below the design limit speed.
If the sidestick is released,the aircraft continues to pitch-up until the airspeed slows to approximately VMO/MMO at which point the high speed protection is deactivated and normal control laws restored.
