Which operational effect results from ice accretion at static ports during flight?

A)Erroneous airspeed indications occur
B)Elevator effectiveness is severely reduced
C)Fuel consumption rates increase sharply
D)Engine thrust output oscillates randomly

💡 Explanation

Icing causes inaccurate pressure readings because **static pressure sensing** is blocked, therefore leading to erroneous airspeed indications displayed to the pilot, rather than impacting flight control, fuel, or engine systems.
