A system and method of augmenting an existing air data system includes a multi-function probe (MFP) having a portion extending into an oncoming airflow about an exterior of an aircraft. A plurality of pressure sensing ports in the portion includes at least first and second static pressure ports. A first electronics channel of the MFP includes pressure sensors communicating with the first and second static pressure ports and is configured to determine first and second altitude values based on sensed static pressures at the first and second static pressure ports, respectively, that are independent of the existing air data system.
