"..In recent years two 757 are crashed, due to airspeed
failure, caused by the same problem.."
The AeroPeru 757 static ports had been taped over for skin polishing on the overnight, being undetected when plane unexpectedly put in service, due to a 727 aog. I don't remember if the pitot tubes had been sealed as well, but it is immaterial, as without accurate static, the airspeed indication is misleading. The pitot probes did not fail or ice over.
In a simpler plane, inaccurate airspeed indication is not a killer. Perhaps someone could list the systems adversely affected by inaccurate airspeed indication in the A330.
