triple redundant
Three pitots is double redundant, at best.

1. lose one, down to two - 1st level of redundancy, and singly redundant if you exclude human interaction.
2. IF one of the remainder disagree, the pilot chooses which one he likes - 2nd redundancy level, but only due to human interaction.
3. Lose the last one, no backup. System is doubly redundant.
