I was merely thinking (a danger in itself!) that perhaps a quick check would be to cross-reference the ‘mechanical’ airspeed to the synthesized ‘electronic’ one, especially when the ‘mechanical’ airspeed is derived from probes subject to all manner of influence, from pitot probe covers, to icing, to bees/nests and other fod... whereas, on the modern jets, the A320 atleast, are equipped with gps and unless a failure or accuracy issue is annunciated, could be relied on. Whoever designs something to replace pitot probes and gets required approvals and uptake will be a VERY rich man/woman.
all this notwithstanding the other influencing factors including the startle, disorientation and distraction (human) factors that came about from the engine messaging that got prioritised and arguably suppressed the air data problem. Anyway, thanks! (Apologies for over simplification). im not a pilot, but a curious engineer
