Unsafe Condition

During a flight test, an air data probe failure led to identical wrong flight path vectors and vertical speeds displayed on both pilot's and co-pilot's PDU. The current wiring of the Air Data System (ADS) and IRS units is not compliant with safety objectives, leading to unnoticed and misleading flight information.
