AoA interconnected with ADC - speed / alt errors; ADC interconnect with Engine / auto thrust ?
The FADEC input function specifications I've seen (about 7), all do not include AoA, though the data may be on the data bus network.
I've not seen the FADEC input function specification for any B737, but leaked CFM training powerpoint for thrust setting also does not include AoA.
I think that speed and altitude data is cross-checked against engine sensors (unless these faulty), so not a common mode concern.
I think FMC has same basic thrust setting function as FADEC (i.e. does not include AoA); this is more like tdracer domain to comment.
