If the accident report was accurate the Birgenair was not strictly an airborne airspeed unreliable incident. It should never have got airborne but made an RTO at the 80kts call. Was the same true with the Aussie bees. Did there ASI's function correctly all the way through takeoff?
The other issue with Birgenair could be attached to the 'automatic dependency' threads. The captain engaged the autopilot to trouble shoot the problem. Problem was he engaged the CMD to the faulty system and the autopilot stalled the a/c. Dangerous to engage automatics if you don't know what they are going to do.
