Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
generating, by a first sensor device comprising a processor, first sensed information associated with a first aircraft physical hardware component based on execution of a primary sensing function and a first signal from a sensing element;
based on a determination that a second sensor device is not operating properly, enabling, by the first sensor device, a backup sensing function associated with a second aircraft physical hardware component, different than the first aircraft physical hardware component, wherein the backup sensing function is a same sensing function performed by the second sensor device; and
generating, by the first sensor device, second sensed information associated with the second aircraft physical hardware component using the backup sensing function and a second signal from the sensing element, wherein the generating of the first sensed information and the generating of the second sensed information comprise performing, at a same time, the generating of the first sensed information and the generating of the second sensed information.
