The contrary (increase or no change of altitude) would be much more curious as there is a (false) loss of about 300 ft (recorded) at the start of each UAS event. (due to loss of mach correction for static pressure). -> See BEA reports #1 & 2 for explanations, including projected table of loss of airspeed effects on the other flight parameters.

Second, the change of pitch (reduction) that was recorded after 0209:58 is due to the crew reduction to Mach 0.80, followed by a change of N1 of -16% in 8 seconds. Pitch decreased from +1.8° to 0° in three seconds (0210:00-0210:03).

La gestion de la vitesse passe de
managée à sélectée. Le Mach
sélecté est 0,8.

L’assiette longitudinale diminue de
1,8° vers 0° en 3 secondes.
En 8 secondes, les N1 commandés
et les N1 passent de 100 % à
84 %.
