Hi bear,

I knew it!... no surprise.
This doesn't fit with your own "theories" and you now need to make up few of those "facts".

This is an ACARS message, not a DFDR trace. Something was bollux with IAS in the cockpit to generate the maintenance entry into log.

Takata, you are assuming that ACARS report is real time, and by inference that ACARS reports simultaneously with fault. Impossible.
Well, certainly not!
ACARS message are not displayed in realtime, they are stamped to the nearest minute.
There is 14 messages dispatched for 0210, all processed by the CMC between 0209:51 and 0210:50:

First message was recieved at 0210:10 (AP OFF).
The BEA note said that it disconnected at 0210:05 (from CVR "Alarm"/DFDR data AP status, I presume).
We know that it takes about 6 seconds to process an ACARS (due to protocole limitations).
This is obviously fully consistant with "everything started at 0210:05"... before this point, the flight was totally uneventful beside crew conversations about weather avoidance, small offset and speed reduction to Mach .80.
Now, if you want to absolutely shed the doubt by making up particular "events" prior to 0210:05, that's your call but not mine.
