No they weren't. They came back correctly from around 02:10:36 to 02:11:43, but after that point the AoA exceeded approximately 30 degrees, which caused the vertical airflow to foul the pitot tubes and render airspeed data useless. This disruption of airflow meant that there was no useful airspeed information from that point until impact at 02:14:28 - a little over two and a half minutes.
