What action does Alpha floor protection take in response to a specific condition?

Alpha floor protection is a safety feature of the A320's flight control system that activates under conditions of excessive pitch-up or slow airspeed, typically when the aircraft is in a critical phase of flight. When the system detects that the aircraft is in a situation where it may stall, it automatically commands takeoff/go-around (TO/GA) thrust. This action increases engine power to help the aircraft stabilize and climb, reducing the risk of a stall by ensuring sufficient thrust is available to maintain altitude and control.

This feature is especially crucial during flight phases where the aircraft might experience high angles of attack and low airspeeds, such as during takeoff or approach. By automatically setting TO/GA power, Alpha floor ensures that even if the crew does not respond quickly enough to the impending stall condition, the aircraft will receive the necessary power to recover.

Other options in this question do not accurately describe the function of Alpha floor protection. For instance, while CLB power might be significant during other phases of flight, it does not specifically address stall prevention. Additionally, Alpha floor does not override sidestick inputs or indicate a stall directly; rather, it activates to prevent a stall from occurring by increasing thrust. Understanding this mechanism is vital for pilots and crew to
