Also, when possible, it might be appropriate for HAL to [very infrequently] warn the pilots of the context of an impending disconnect.
As an example I always felt that there was a real possibility that AF447's HAL might have been able to give the pilots a little notice with a message such as:
- pitot tubes playing up, recall unreliable speed drill
- just lost a pitot tube, recall unreliable speed drill
Sort of HAL in F/E conversation mode.
PS I've no access to any details of pitot tube handling, but quite a lot of the wording of the AF447 threads kept suggesting to me something might have been possible.
