The flight control software was not malfunctioning. He had instruments and communication capability that would have let him land an otherwise flyable aircraft.

He only had “basically working” comms, which seems to suggest that it too was degraded, and the instruments referred to as being available is just the tiny artificial horizon display in front of his right knee.
