← TechnologyWhich 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.
