got a question. the search function didnt help at all.

I suspect the aircraft assumes you are in landing config and allows you to do just that.

Well, for landing it is inhitied <100R IIRC...

My guess would be getting into VMCA issues. Not sure it matters "why", but shows good systems knowledge to have seen it... Does it affect flying the aircraft? Not sure it does, nobody shold be planning on getting anywhere near Alpha Floor/Prot ;)
