The bug didn't black out all instruments, it blacked out the multi-function displays. Certainly less than ideal, but that's precisely why backup instruments exists.

The bug didn't black out all instruments, it blacked out the multi-function displays. Certainly less than ideal, but that's precisely why backup instruments exists.

The bug blacked out all six display units. What other instruments are you thinking of?

All critical instruments have analog backups. Altitude, speed, artificial horizon, etc.
