Incident: Etihad A332 at Frankfurt on Jan 21st 2013, loss of all airspeed indications on final approach (http://www.avherald.com/h?article=45ced9e2&opt=0)
"An Etihad Airways Airbus A330-200, registration A6-EYF performing flight EY-1A from Munich to Frankfurt/Main (Germany), was on final approach to Frankfurt's runway 25L when all three airspeed indications (left, right, standby) were lost. The crew was able to continue for a safe landing on runway 25L about 2 minutes later.
The French BEA reported the German BFU is investigating the serious incident.
The aircraft performing flight EY-1 from Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) to Frankfurt had previously diverted to Munich due to weather."

If they have the BUSS, switching all ADRs OFF will give them the AoA fast slow indication and GPS altitude in the PFD. In approach you don't need more.
Without it, Unreliable speed, fly pitch and thrust on the glideslope.
what was the WX. Severe icing, it seems...

Other thread has disappeared.
Any specific reason why the whole thread was deleted?
I opened the original thread but don't know why it was deleted.
Not that it really matters, but still would be nice to get some feedback as to why it got deleted.

Thread disappeared because it involved the airline we cannot write or talk about on Pprune!
You might try changing the airline name in the opening post to 'die hat' and pretend it is a German airline (but don't mention the war'):)

Didn't take long before one of the usual suspects rode in on his hobby horse. What's the mares name? Idée fixe, perhaps? Poor thing must have been flogged half to death by now.

It is quite sad that no discussions of any sort can be carried out on this forum of a certain un-named airline. Next is FR. After which, all the rest.

I cannot imagine it would be the will of HH Sheikh Hamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to refuse PPRuNe comments :
Emirati are widely open to modern management.
