Hi TwoTone-7,

There are about 170 A330s fitted with these conic AOAs and over 500 A320s.

The A330 mentioned had the new "conic" plate AOAs fitted, but freezing problems have occurred previously with the old design. This example jammed at a cruise angle of attack. See:Sensor icing caught out A320 crew in Perpignan crash

Edit. with thanks to CONF iture.
If Pitots and AOAs simultaneously iced up then -
The pitch / power tables will resolve which is telling lies, but I don't think HAL can read those tables.
