Which risk increases significantly when static ports become blocked during flight?

💡 Explanation

Blocked static ports impede accurate atmospheric pressure sensing, because the **static pressure system** no longer reflects ambient conditions. Therefore, airspeed and altitude instruments display incorrect values, rather than engine or flight control malfunctions, which rely on separate systems.
