← ScienceWhich 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.
