Blocked AoA vanes is extremely rare situation which can nevertheless have severe effect on any FBW Airbus so it makes sense to have single procedure across the fleet, especially for CCQ flyers. True that FACs OFF (by pbs) is one way to degrade minibus into altn but they are not installed on widebodies and 2 ADR OFF will get rid of protections on any FBW Airbus. BTW, there will be two references left, the other being standby.
