What action should a pilot take if the aircraft indicates an active Alpha floor protection?

In the context of Active Alpha Floor protection, it is essential to understand that this system is designed to prevent the aircraft from entering a stall condition. When Alpha Floor is activated, the aircraft's flight control systems automatically command maximum thrust to maintain a safe airspeed.

Choosing to increase climb power aligns with the system's purpose. By doing so, the pilot allows the aircraft to remain within safe operating parameters. During such a condition, the aircraft is likely at a high angle of attack, and the system is attempting to provide adequate power to prevent a stall while maintaining altitude or climbing.

The other options do not reflect the correct response to an Active Alpha Floor condition. Reducing thrust would counteract the system's objective and potentially increase the risk of stall. Maintaining the current flight path may not effectively address the issue if the thrust is insufficient to sustain safe airspeed. Preparing for a controlled descent is also unnecessary because the Alpha Floor protection is designed to keep the aircraft safely in the air, not prompt a descent. Thus, increasing climb power is the appropriate and safe action in response to an activated Alpha Floor protection system.
