Memory Item UAS A330 : Flawed
AF is 5°/85% yet other majors' procedure is 2°/82%.
AF's 5° will inuduce climb as opposed to 2°.
I believe that Airbus' is still 5°/85%.
Why can not one standardised procedure be valid for all carriers regarding this memory item in the wake of AF447?
This did not come up in the BEA report because crew did not apply any UAS procedure which is why it has not been addressed.
Furthemore, AF's 5°/85% is approved by DGAC and EASA so have they missed something?
BTW, If I recall, UAS memory item is a recent introduction sometime at the beginning of 2005 which never had existed before in any FCOM and FCTM.
Bottom line: 2°/82% should be the standard for all A330 carriers.
