If your pitot-static and air data computer systems are not functioning properly, as an ex-ppl, frequent passenger and current air traffic controller I would much rather the aircraft stayed on terra firma.

Looks like a similar situation as the recent Ryanair excursion at EGPK, lack of grip on the paved surfaces when most needed.

Glad that everybody walked away, may have been a completely different scenario if it had gotten airborne.
