The issue here is that the fly-by-wire system on Airbus airliners is highly reliant on pitot tube data for proper flight operation. If the pitot tube freezes up, that could report erroneous data and could cause the plane to not fly properly--a situation that may have contributed to the Air France Flight 447 and Indonesia AirAsia Flight 8501 crashes. Airbus may have to tighten maintenance requirements on the pitot tubes on the nose of the plane to make sure the tubes stay properly heated at altitude.
