Hi,

"EASA had cautioned pilots, in a December 2010 directive, to resist re-engaging the autopilot until they had carried out a cross-check of speed indications to ensure that the airspeed data was reliable.
Is it possible to have a software program to carried out a cross-check of speed to ensure that the airspeed data was reliable ? instead a crosscheck from the pilots ?

If a software program is able to declare invalid airspeeds and warn the crew (and disengaging the AP) I suppose it's also possible to have the reverse (warn the crew of valid airspeeds and engage again the AP)

Logic ?
