Which consequence results when incompressible flow assumptions fail within the Bernoulli equation during aircraft icing?

A)Reduced pilot spatial awareness
B)Elevated airspeed measurement error
C)Compromised structural material strength
D)Increased fuel mixture combustion instability

💡 Explanation

Icing changes airflow density; the Bernoulli equation relies on constant density. Pitot tubes measure dynamic pressure using this equation; ice disrupts this measurement. Therefore, airspeed errors increase, rather than combustion instability, because flow density approximation deteriorates.
