I have two fully independent pitot and static systems: a pitot on each wingtip and two static ports on each side of the fuselage. The AoA is only on one line, but at least I would have the air speed on the other gauges. =20 Robert M.

If something happens to the pitot static system, or the airspeed pitot, your AOA won't work either.=20
