And then give pilots info about unrelaible airspeed.
Which is what it does, and what happened. With the addition that because speed is known-bad the speed-based protections drop out. And control gets handed to the pilots - because HAL isn't sure what the plane is doing any more.
With no control inputs, the plane should just keep doing what it was doing before, here
something causes a roll and pilot responds with full back stick and all hell breaks loose.
