I'm wondering if an Airbus can ever stall in normal law under the following conditions (considering that the alpha floor function is available down to 100feet RA on approach):

-Thrust lever to idle at any RA below 100feet
-V/S = 0

Thanks!

Below 100ft RA if you hold full back sidestick deflection with thrust idle, you will first get alpha prot, which you will over-ride; then it will stay at alpha max until you strike the tail!

That's now clear!

thanks!

..............but it won't stall whether Alpha floor is there or not.

Check 'Six'

In windshear conditions. It can stall like any other aircraft. It will however offer more protection than conventional aircraft.

Check six:ok:

...................and in a Nuclear blast it may well suffer as a result of EMP...........................but that wasn't the question!
