The memorized portion of the UAS QRH drill does NOT require a "5deg" pitch attitude above MSA or circuit altitude. The last memorized item at the bottom of the drill states:
"When at, or above MSA or Circuit Altitude: Level off for troubleshooting."

Hi PJ2. Being above MSA and at circuit altitude, according to the aircraft manufacturer's QRH, the AF447 crew should not have implemented the 5°/CLB item, but what should the crew have done according to the operator's UAS procedure ?
