Hi,

The switch-over would be automatic. The FDs would not have any influence on the crew's behaviour. Raw data's the thing in circumtances like this. They had attitude, vertical speed, altitude all engine instruments and everything else required for stable flight. All that was missing was airspeed information, and that for less than a minute.
Maybe we can add to the missing items list a reliable stall alarm
