Recall of the last procedure enhancements

Common procedure for all Airbus Family:
1) Memory Items in a Black Box.
2) Level Off Step with Pitch&thrust table.
Recall of the last procedure enhancements

IF the troubleshooting is unsuccessful or all indications are unreliable:
Switch OFF 2 ADRs and fly the aircraft using Pitch & Thrust tables.

Conclusion
The UNRELIABLE SPEED and ADR CHECK PROC are now gathered in a single paper procedure called:
UNRELIABLE SPEED INDICATION / ADR CHECK
Conditions added in the procedure for :
Applying the Memory Items Level off for troubleshooting faulty ADR
/ Use the Back-Up Speed Scale
Situation Awareness and procedure understanding are improved by the FCTM and the e-briefing
New Backup Speed Scale: Easier way to handle an Unreliable speed situation
