ASI (Air Speed Indicator) errors can occur due to various factors related to the pitot and static systems. The pitot-static system is essential for providing accurate airspeed indications to the aircraft instruments, including the ASI.
Here are some common errors associated with pitot and static systems:
Pitot Tube Blockage: If the pitot tube is blocked by dirt, insects, or ice, it can result in inaccurate airspeed indications. Regular pre-flight checks should include inspecting the pitot tube for obstructions.
Static Port Blockage: Similar to the pitot tube, the static ports can also become blocked. Ensure that the static ports are clear from debris or ice.
A leak in the pitot-static system can affect the accuracy of airspeed readings. Check for any visible signs of leaks and perform a leak check as part of routine maintenance.
