Yep, saw part of very same show myself last nigh until I turned it off in disgust, all a bit dramatised for me. You'll learn more on here than what that nonsense said. All the glorified stuff and a lot of focussing on the pitots but nothing (as much as I saw) on the PF,PNF, crew resting etc. Notwithstanding it may have been produced before the FDR material was released. Don't put too much weight on it, is all I am saying.
When we were spraying our a/c water pumps were driven by a small fan in the propwash. Time and time again we were asked by farmers, "What's th' little propeller fer?" It worked, pure and simple. Even more so for a pitot perhaps?
