The subsequent ECAM actions would give conflicting instructions. In this case, apply the QRH procedure for ADR 1 + 2 + 3 failure. This is one of the few cases where the crew will not follow the ECAM procedure."
So the crew is left with conflicting info and have to find the proper document BEFORE they act.
Well, ADR 1+2+3 FAULT is memory item (ADR DISAGREE). Then, just apply it.
When it comes to the software and hardware used on AF447, the BEA reports are very silent. Why give details about engines and some other hardware, but noting about the FBW-system? E.g. the QF72 accident report made by Australians contain a lot of such inf.
BEA's reports are only "interim" dealing with partial findings while final report will certainly deal with that in details if something relevant is to be said about it.
