Inaccurate airspeed indicator

The altimeter readings were all correct on the flight. The transponder
reported accurately and center never had a problem with my altitude.
So it seems to me, the static system must be correct.

A loose connection in the ram air system could give erroneous airspeed
readings while giving correct altimeter readings, as could a partial
obstruction. I've seen water in the pitot system give this error also,
which is really a partial obstruction.


Just a comment:
We were required to do a leak test after opening a pitot or static
line for whatever reason. Eventually water drain fittings were
removed from this required list but that seemed to me at the time
to be a mistake since those o-rings were especially prone to
rotting out. O-ring quality improvement seemed to solve that.

Hang on here a second now Jim, you still need two samples. As Dan
says you need 'static pressure' to read the altitude from and you
need 'pitot pressure' (ram air pressure) as well as the static
pressure to derive the airspeed reading from. Sounds like you're
saying that you can read 'both' from just the 'ram air pressure'
alone. Or did I misunderstand you?

Jim has finally figued out what a pitot tube is, but somehow he still wants
to be correct in his archive troll. It is a great paradox.

pathetic splaps boy. your *one* sample of trying to bolster your
credibility is a snip from the orginal post from the orginal thread,
which everyone knows and your feeble attempt at gaining any degree of
credibility leaves you looking like an even greater ******.

very poor splaps boy, very poor. your dissertation on "negative cabin
pressurization" has more inginuity.
