Hello everyone,,
Involved in a discussion of the computerization of recently produced automobiles, trying to make an analogy to fly by wire. Attempting to reference pitot tube failure. Got hung up on how fly by wire systems compensate for loss of pitot tube sensing. I know that not all systems are dependent on working pitot tubes. But all I remember of the long detailed discussions of crashes involving pitot tubes is something about power and attitude. So maybe someone can remind me of where the pilots turn when they no longer have air speed data. It is my impression that air speed is very critical to flight management, but pilots can still aviate after the air speed is unreliable.
