The pitot tube becomes blocked by ice while the static source remains clear. As the aircraft subsequently climbs at a constant indicated airspeed, what will the airspeed indicator show?

It will behave like an altimeter, increasing as the aircraft climbs. It will under-read progressively as altitude increases. It will remain frozen at the value present when the blockage occurred. It will read zero because no dynamic pressure can reach the capsule.

Correct Answer:

It will behave like an altimeter, increasing as the aircraft climbs.
