According to the ASN Accident Description, "Go-around power was added at
14.45:35"


The pilot was past the end of the runway by then and into an unmapped part
of the A-320's flight control system.


What is "an unmapped part of the A-320's flight control system" supposed to
mean?!?

Just prior to the pilot adding go-around power, the airplane was in an
aerodynamic regime that had been encountered many times previously --
airspeed
between stall and Vref, with a slight rate of descent (approx 375 fpm, from
last
datapoint), engines at idle. How could it be that the flight control system
was
"unmapped" in that aerodynamic regime?!?

I am quite certain that the A-320's certification included slow flight and
approaches to stalls, and that its flight control system is well able to
handle
them.

I suppose this is an addendum to your claims in another thread that

If your F-105 is capable of doing something inside its flight envelope,
it is normal operation.


and

An example of an abnormal operation is the cobra manouver, as the flight
controls are altered from normal operation.


and

Nope, the operator's handbook describes the flight envelope.



I don't think you have a clue as to what a flight envelope really is!


Sure he does, he thinks it's the little envelope they give you with your
boarding pass.
