On the Pitots: Icing is assumed (with good reason) to be an issue - but thinking about it - if an aircraft enters extreme weather with massive changes in pressure, wind direction etc etc - is that a possibilty of giving 'erroneous' data to the aircraft from the pitots - IE the will correctly detect a large variation in one pitot, while another MIGHT get a differing reading - or simply that massive changes were read as an error, not the actual 'aispeed' changing vastly?
Is there any thought that the airpseed data was lost for the duration of the inceident?
I know it's a 'silly' question, just wondering if system failure or ice aside, a pitot system could be 'fooled' or more precisely the computer monitoring them could think that number changes beyond a given range is incorrect?
