In an iterative method of determining aircraft flight data parameters using first and second multi-function probes, an assumed value of a first aircraft parameter is defined to be equal to an initial value. Using the assumed value of the first aircraft parameter together with the respective local angles of attack determined at first and second multi-function probes, first and second estimates of a second aircraft parameter are calculated and compared. If the first and second estimates of the second aircraft parameter are within tolerance of each other, then the first aircraft parameter is approximately equal to the assumed value, and the second aircraft parameter is determined from the first and second estimates. If the first and second estimates of the second aircraft parameter are not within tolerance of each other, then an iterative process is continued to correctly determine the first and second parameters.
