HA! That happened to me last month! An ANT got into the pitot tube and blocked the air flow. You have something keeping the air inside the tube. This is common with ice buildup on the tube. An AN=NT was a new one for me!

Which instrument(s) will become inoperative if the static vents become clogged?

If the static vents become clogged, the airspeed indicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator will become inoperative. These instruments rely on static pressure to provide accurate readings, so any blockage in the static vents will disrupt their functioning.

How an airspeed indicator works?

An airspeed indicator works by measuring the difference between the ram air pressure from the pitot tube (which faces forward into the airstream) and the static air pressure from the static port. The difference in pressures is converted into an airspeed reading on the instrument display. As the aircraft moves through the air, the pressure differential changes, and the airspeed indicator reflects these changes in real time.


How does airspeed indicator work?

The airspeed indicator operates based on the difference between the pressure of the pitot tube (ram air pressure) and the static port (ambient air pressure). As the aircraft moves through the air, the pressure difference changes, which is translated into an airspeed reading on the indicator. The indicator is calibrated to display the indicated airspeed, which may differ from the true airspeed due to factors like altitude and instrument errors.


What is the limitation of the airspeed indicator?

some V speeds are not indicated, It doesn't show true airspeed or ground speed.
