Some lateral thinking. If the Pitot-static system is inop every pressurised aircraft has some form of cabin altitude (generally logarithmic in scale above 10k) and cabin rate. Depressurise the aircraft ...If the masks drop out you are above 10000! Descend until the cabin alt gives a valid reading then use the radalt on approach.
