Man-machine interface and anomalies

[RR_NDB]

I will disconnect the AP/AT and go to alternate law

"Hi guys! Sorry to disturb you but my pitot tubes are not giving me a reliable airspeed. I have disconnected the autopilot and we are now in alternate law"

"I suggest that you turn off the FD and just fly pitch and power while see if I can get our airspeed indications back."

Completely feasible long time ago to:

1) Inform assertively on the limitations being faced

2) Orient crew clearly on proper procedure

Simple, like Leonardo Da Vinci stated:

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication"

There are other possible ways to design...K.I.C.S.

A pilot in the high rocks of the R&D Dept. would generate better design.
