It is inexact to state so. At best, the UAS is VERY poorly written.
The way it is written, the MEMORY ITEMS are always applicable when the safe conduct of the flight is impacted.
In my book I don't know any situation when the safe conduct of a flight is NOT impacted. The altitude is far to be the only such factor.
Instead of :
- If the safe conduct of the flight is impacted : MEMORY ITEMS
the procedure should state :
- If below MSA : MEMORY ITEMS
- If or when above MSA : Level off for troubleshooting
Let's see if the BEA will mentioned how poorly the UAS procedure is still designed ... ?
