Which pitot-static system failure causes inaccurate airspeed during descent?

💡 Explanation

A blocked static port falsely elevates static pressure during descent, leading to an underestimation of airspeed due to the pressure differential calculation. This erroneous indication occurs because blocked ports prevent ambient pressure reading updating, therefore impacting perceived airspeed rather than other dynamic elements.
