Skycatcher pilot

I just watched a tv special on AF 447.

In my plane I have a Garmin 696 that will display GPS derived flight instruments. Ground speed, Altitude, Vertical speed, Heading, and Turn.
I have it in case my no backup instruments (G 300) fail. It seems such data might have have helped with the confusion created when the pitot tubes iced.

Is such data available in an airbus?
