The document provides procedures for recovering from an alpha floor condition in an aircraft when the configuration is clean or dirty. In both cases, the procedures involve easing the stick forward to lower alpha and gain airspeed, setting maximum thrust, engaging the autopilot once above minimum speed, and adjusting thrust levers and disengaging autothrust to initiate a climb. When the configuration is dirty, calling for flaps, verifying a positive climb, and retracting gear and flaps on schedule are additional steps.

When ready to begin the recovery (At a safe altitude):
o Ease stick forward to lower alpha and get positive energy increase. o Set thrust to TOGA: you are simply matching the lever position. o When speed increases above VLS AP ON At a safe speed margin: Thrust levers to CLB-“click, click” Instinctive DISCONNECT- “click” A/THR PB (FCU) PUSH- reconnect
