Hi,
Not sure I agree or understand all this. My take on the pitot
probe fault modes and their results would be:
Honestly I do not think the pitot had a fault
The pitot worked exactly as expected by their certification
They do not have a fault
They were used out of the domain of specifications and certification
It's exactly the same Airbus tell about their plane:
Our aircraft and systems worked as expected ..
The aircraft had no fault.
Of course if you go out of the certification specifications ... you can have some weird outcomes ....
