Along these lines, following up expressions “the Captain’s instruments are all bad,” not working by any means. This happened when the aircraft was moving out of Kansas City’s runway 01L.
ATC questioned the pilots about their elevation because he was unable to see their height on his display. The pilots responded that they had exchanged the transponder to the other pitot system. They communicated the accurate height through the transponder. At that time, the instruments of the first pilot were fine, so he was the pilot in command.
