Which risk increases significantly when static ports become blocked during flight?

A)Erroneous airspeed and altitude readings
B)Loss of engine thrust control
C)Rudder control surface reversal
D)Fuel tank over-pressurization damage

💡 Explanation

Blocked static ports impede accurate atmospheric pressure sensing, because the **static pressure system** no longer reflects ambient conditions. Therefore, airspeed and altitude instruments display incorrect values, rather than engine or flight control malfunctions, which rely on separate systems.
