Loss of such information should not be catastrophic, but would result in a partial panel emergency. For larger, more automated aircraft there may be automated fault detection and remediation systems. | |

I am assuming that there is a system that detects this and unblocks this (please correct if I am wrong). But is pilot notified about this so that he does not take any rash decision while the ports are being unblocked | |

| Mar 8, 2016 at 13:15 | comment | added | ratchet freak | there are multiple pitot tubes. | |
| Mar 8, 2016 at 13:14 | comment | added | user2927392 | Is there any redundancy maintained for these ports - like multiple static ports? | |
