It seems Takata is right this time. The Air Caraibe memo states that about 30 minutes after the UAS event the crew reset both FMGEC to get rid of the SPD LIM red flag and to regain VLS indication on the PFD.
RE 5°/CLB: The Air Caraibe crew used GPS altitude and groundspeed to maintain trajectory and speed. Prior to UAS they had disconnected the A/THR and set cruise N1 for the weight and altitude.
