PJ2: as I understand your post, the procedure you cite in the blue box is based on lessons learned from AF447, while the other procedural steps were in place at the time (per your observation "... essentially remained the same from November 2002") of the mishap. What I don't have clear is which symptoms were considered sufficient trigger to enter that series of procedures. (Airspeed unreliable, or A/P kicked off due to Airspeed Unrealiable?)

To ensure that I am speaking the same language:

Does "immediate actions" mean "memory items" or is that "break out the checklist/procedure and do these first" in a challenge/response style of ordered operations by the crew?

IMMEDIATE ACTIONS
- AP/FD........................................OFF
- A/THR........................................OFF
- FLAPS........................................MAINTAIN CURRENT CONFIG
- SPEEDBRAKES............................CHECK RETRACTED
- L/G............................................UP WHEN AIRBORNE

IMMEDIATE PITCH ATTITUDE AND THRUST GUIDANCE
If the failure occurs before thrust reduction:
- THRUST LEVER...........................TOGA
- PITCH ATTITUDE.........................12.5°

If the failure occurs after thrust reduction:
- THRUST LEVER............................CLB
- PITCH ATTITUDE below FL 100.......10°
- PITCH ATTITUDE above FL 100.......5°

RESPECT THE STALL WARNING

WHEN FLIGHT PATH STABILIZED
- PROBE WINDOW HEAT...................ON
- ATTITUDE/THRUST........................ADJUST

I presume that "adjust" in that last means "adjust to desired speed and power combination for continued flight."
