Sure, none is reasonnable.

In the meantime, it has to be mentioned that the initial action is suggested by the horizontal bar for vertical navigation. At this time the AP/FD vertical mode is still most probably in ALT CRZ. The negative values must have sent the horizontal bar pretty high on the PFD. What I don't get is why the system decides to dump the AP but thinks it smart to still display the FD for 3 more seconds.

In this short period, with warnings and turbulence, there is absolutely no chance for the crew to identify a case of UAS and apply its memory items.
