Narrative:
Departing runway 29 to the west from MMMY; an [air carrier] plane had just landed runway 11 coming from the west. No convective weather was listed in the dispatch release with the exception of circuit breaker and ice to the distant east/southeast; which we also later confirmed with MMMY tower. Neither the [landing] plane nor ATC made any mention of weather. We had radar turned on prior to takeoff and concluded that the echoes were associated with the terrain to the west. At about 5;000 feet we entered IMC followed by continuous hail. Just before exiting the IMC conditions we received the following EICAS messages: ap fail; at fail; elevator fault; rudder fault; yd fault. I took control of the radios and flight controls; and directed the first officer (first officer) to begin running QRH procedures beginning with ap fail. I leveled the airplane at 12;000 feet and 250kts initially; and then climbed to FL200 as we were approaching higher terrain. Upon completion of all the QRH procedures and mechanical irregularity chart in flight; we were left with the EICAS displaying at fail; stall prot fail; aoa limit fail; windshear fail. We concluded the flight could be completed safely. The first officer took control of radio #1 and flight controls. I tried several frequencies attempting to contact [company] radio and commercial radio; but was unable to establish contact. Via ACARS text message I notified dispatch/maintenance of what happened. They agreed the flight could be completed safely; but to contact them on the ground for logbook entries. I resumed control of the flight controls; and we resumed normal speed and climbed to FL300. The flight completed with no further irregularities. Upon landing the EICAS messages disappeared but the following messages displayed: flight ctrl no dispatch; ads probe 3 fail; ads probe 1 fail. We completed those three QRH procedures; yet the EICAS messages remained.

Title: An EMB-175 Captain reported a number of system failures annunciated on EICAS following a hail encounter departing MMMY.
Narrative: Departing runway 29 to the west from MMMY; an [air carrier] plane had just landed runway 11 coming from the west. No convective weather was listed in the Dispatch Release with the exception of CB and ice to the distant east/southeast; which we also later confirmed with MMMY Tower. Neither the [landing] plane nor ATC made any mention of weather. We had radar turned on prior to takeoff and concluded that the echoes were associated with the terrain to the west. At about 5;000 feet we entered IMC followed by continuous hail. Just before exiting the IMC conditions we received the following EICAS messages: AP FAIL; AT FAIL; ELEVATOR FAULT; RUDDER FAULT; YD FAULT. I took control of the radios and flight controls; and directed the First officer (FO) to begin running QRH procedures beginning with AP FAIL. I leveled the airplane at 12;000 feet and 250kts initially; and then climbed to FL200 as we were approaching higher terrain. Upon completion of all the QRH procedures and Mechanical Irregularity Chart In Flight; we were left with the EICAS displaying AT FAIL; STALL PROT FAIL; AOA LIMIT FAIL; WINDSHEAR FAIL. We concluded the flight could be completed safely. The FO took control of radio #1 and flight controls. I tried several frequencies attempting to contact [company] Radio and commercial radio; but was unable to establish contact. Via ACARS text message I notified Dispatch/Maintenance of what happened. They agreed the flight could be completed safely; but to contact them on the ground for logbook entries. I resumed control of the flight controls; and we resumed normal speed and climbed to FL300. The flight completed with no further irregularities. Upon landing the EICAS messages disappeared but the following messages displayed: FLT CTRL NO DISPATCH; ADS PROBE 3 FAIL; ADS PROBE 1 FAIL. We completed those three QRH procedures; yet the EICAS messages remained.
