@PJ2 and "machin" : to clarify.

"Si la sécurité du vol est affectée (toutes les indications de vitesse sont erronées ou si l'indication de vitesse fausse ne peut être clairement identifiée)...appliquer la procédure suivante
- appliquer les actions immédiates (équivalent de la maneuvre d'urgence)...

-AP/FD.....OFF
-A/THR.....OFF
[....]
Au dessus (above) FL 100
Poussee/assiette...CLB/5° (up)"
(Bold is from AF book)

"If flight safety is an issue (all IAS unreliable OR if unreliable AS indication is not clearly identified)... apply thereafter procedure : (same as unreliable IAS drill : AP/FD/ATHR OFF ; CLB thrust/5° NU).

I am not saying this is a smart idea, I am just saying that, from a notary/Court point of view : AF book mandates "AP/FD/ATHR OFF ; CLB thrust/5° NU" each time ALL IAS are unreliable or if THE unreliable/faulty IAS cannot be "clearly" identified
Any one of these two conditions is considered to be "affecting flight safety".
