Erroneous air data
Salute!
PLZ look at the B-2 crash at Guam
No icing.
Tubes with moisture and actual water - yep!
Loss of control at WoW? Yep.
I would not trust a sensor that has its own logic to determine if it is unreliable. Anybody else here think that way?
Granted, we can have only so many sensors to check on the other sensors. So maybe we should look at sensors that can stand zillions of degrees of temperature, but still measure vital dynamic and static pressure within some zone of accuracy. We don't need +/- 1 degree of temperature, +/- 100 feet of altitude, or even +/- 5 knots of speed.
There are major aero considerations determining favorable flight characteristics than a few degrees here, a few knots there, a few feet of altitude there. GASP!!
P.S. Getting too chatty here, so I shall chill for a bit.
