INSTRUMENT ERROR
Friction and Tolerances
POSITION ERROR (or PRESSURE ERROR)
Fluctuations at Static Source: LG and Flaps Configuration
Position and Instrument Correction Card
DENSITY ERROR
Dynamic Pressure Proportional to Density.
For Given TAS Less Dynamic Pressure at Higher Altitude
COMPRESSIBILITY ERROR
Compressibility Effects above 300 Kts TAS: Over reads
Density and Compressibility Errors by Nav/ Flt Computer
MANOEUVRE-INDUCED ERROR
Transient Error and Lag with a/c configuration: angle of
attack, flaps, landing gear etc affecting static pressure
PITOT HEAD BLOCKED:
LEVEL CRUISE: Speed Changes NOT Registered
ALTITUDE CHANGE(CLIMB): IAS INCREASE in CLIMB
DECREASE in DESCENT
PITOT LINE LEAKAGE:
LEVEL CRUISE: IAS Gradually Decreases
