DonH,
Thanks for your reply on the memory list. In the early days of the AF447 Technical threads and the R&N threads, we went through this a few times. Although the information was made available in Airbus presentations several years prior to the AF447 incident, some of us questioned whether or not this was really made available to all airline line pilots through initial training or reoccurring training. If you look at the thirty some incidents of UAS involving Airbus aircraft, responses to UAS at cruise speed and altitude varied considerably, but no end results duplicated AF447, somehow they figured it all out successfully. I think you would agree, far more time in training and subsequent examination has been spent on critical low level UAS memory list possibilities, than on high altitude high speed UAS possibilities. Hopefully that has changed, AF447 being a lesson learned.
