Which reading discrepancy arises when a pitot tube's yaw error increases?

A)Overestimated dynamic pressure measurement
B)Underestimated static pressure detection
C)Elevated total pressure measurement
D)Reduced stagnation pressure indication

💡 Explanation

Yaw error introduces flow separation affecting static pressure measurement through viscous forces; this deviation causes an overestimation of dynamic pressure derived via Bernoulli's principle because the indicated stagnation pressure is higher therefore affecting velocity calculation rather than reflecting true speed.
