the stick shaker etc is not part of the pitot system...usually it requires an angle of attack sensor/vane to work

the terrain warning has nothing to do with the barometric altimeter...the earliest forms had a special radar set to measure the angle of the approaching terrain

the airspeed indicator would indicate very low or no airspeed if the plane was falling with the nose up
