Let's mix Rio with Perpignan.
Pitots freeze and AOA sensors clog up at the same time.
How does one blend the respective procedures and prioritise?
Imagine this happened on an A333 w/ BUSS and on a B77W.

Without specific detailed knowledge of either machine, fallback parameters in cruise are pitch attitude and thrust. :ouch:

An interesting proposition but well outside the routine bounds of certification and the philosophy behind the Design Standards. Probably more appropriate in the Questions Forum.

Barit1 is right. Airbus systems would degrade to Direct Law, not sure about T7 - but direct bypass can be manually selected. From that point it's purely pitch and power to keep you in the air.

Same as a C152, power+attitude=performance. Simples...
