I can see where a non pilot would think so.
One must know the Airbus UAS procedure in order for the kind of ECAM I suggest to make sense. The ECAM could say that, it could just use GUMS's words and announce "hey pilot, your pitot system is FUBAR", or many other clear and plain messages. Whatever message might be used, the reference to apply the UAS procedure will alert the pilot to the need to turn the automation off and to fly pitch and power. That's all.
I'm asking for the airplane, an entity that knows it can't fly itself anymore because of pitot/static problems, to tell me that it can no longer do so. Those ADR messages demand interpretation and might lead the crew to focus on diagnosis vs aircraft control (just as it appears happened to FO Robert)
A simple "Consider/Apply UAS" would be more appropriate than "
NAV ADR Disagree". If the system knows enough to announce ADR disagree, it knows enough to announce "Consider/Apply UAS procedure". That ECAM should stay on top until the entire list has been dealt with.
Were your family in the back of AF447, what would you have wanted on the ECAM?
NAV ADR Disagree, or Consider UAS?
