Which consequence results when pitot tube 0 reading occurs?

A)Aircraft airspeed indication becomes inaccurate
B)Engine thrust reduces proportionately, eventually
C)Lift increases beyond critical stall airspeed
D)Turbulence intensity increases momentarily on wings

💡 Explanation

Airspeed indication becomes inaccurate because pitot tubes rely on the Bernoulli equation correlating pressure differential to speed. Therefore, a blocked pitot tube gives zero differential and false data, rather than causing any shift in lift or thrust.
