Thanks for the reply!

Again, as a passenger, this leaves me a bit confused. If there is backup/analogue data giving us:

- pitch/yaw data
- height
- airspeed

In an emergency situation, what would be the other key data which a pilot really needs? The only one I can possibly think of is "power output" in terms of the engines.

This is genuinely more to learn about the dynamics of how things break down to basics in emergency situations than anything else. Pilots are highly trained individuals, and this is no attempt to understand, let alone second guess anything in the AF case.

Thanks.
