My one reservation regarding the above is that knowing procedures and having checklists is not sufficient to do the job in some situations, e.g. the "night carrier landing equivalent type situation" or other similar hands on intensive task. Only recent training buildup is sufficient to allow these tasks to be accomplished..
In this case, the crew probably knew their (current) UAS procedure, but they never got that far. They were likely hung up by the PF's problems in roll over-control.
For those currently flying the 'Bus, would you action the ECAM procedures while the PF is still having difficulty with the actual flying part of his duties?
